All your finger-crossing worked! Miraculously, last weekend I came across an ad on Vancouver’s Kijiji site, selling a full, brand-new Forum set – boots, bindings and board. Everything was in the size I needed, so naturally I thought it was too good to be true. However, I e-mailed the seller anyways, and after a bit of back and forth, I agreed to meet her in a coffee shop in Kits this afternoon. As I sat waiting and sipping my chamomile tea, I flipped open my horoscope for the week:

Venus, Jupiter, and Pluto are visiting your cosmic money house. They may not bring money your way, but whatever you truly want and need in order to feel happy and secure may very well show up now. It’s a good time to open the gates and let your imagination and vision fly. Education, promotion, business, and exchange perk up.

I’m not much of one for horoscopes, but reading that made me instantly confident that this deal would work out. I met with the girl, tried on the boots and inspected the gear, and $500 later (the set retails for $800) was making my way back downtown, a board underarm. Sweet deal? I think so…
