It Happened on the Way to Work . . .

So, on the hour-long drive to work yesterday, which has become monotonous, I was listening to the radio and this song started . . . then immediately stopped. I was slightly ticked, because it was a song I liked. BUT it turns out it was for a contest. If you could identify the artist and title of the song, and called in, you could win 25 lottery tickets (those scratch-off kind). I could remember the artist, but was drawing a blank on the title. Because I suck at titles.
Then, a few miles down the road, it hit me! "Christmas in Hollis" by Run DMC!!!
So I picked up my cell phone and illegally dialed while driving . . . and got that annoying "beep-beep-BEEP" followed by an incorrect number message. Blast! I tried to put in the number correctly, thinking it had probably been 5 minutes since they aired the audio clip and somebody must have already gotten the lottery tickets.
But no. *grin* This is the second time I've won something through a radio station give away. $50 of lotto tickets this time. Last time it was backstage passes to a Bush concert. But it made the drive to work more interesting than usual.
