Here is a “grandmother’s prophecies” card—dated 1944—from the New York City-based Mike Munves Corportation. “You will have a lot of money and life for you will be very sunny.” It rhymes! And I cam agree with that! But is there a dark lining to this money filled sun-cloud? Hmmm…
The rest of the card says I am serious and have no time to relax? Sounds like a Coen Brothers movie! I am very happy and miserable? Manic depressive? But this to me is the clincher: “Do not seek for new friends.” Not only is that an awkward sentence by modern standards, what kind of agoraphobic nonsense is that? That’s almost like the other card I posted that said one shouldn’t leave the home. Seems like “grandmother” is a wee bit paranoid.
And one of my lucky numbers is 404? On the web a 404 error means a page cannot be found. Doesn’t sound too “lucky” to me, “grandmother.” But then again, 404 is the area code of Atlanta, Georgia. Maybe “grandmother” is dropping the hint I should head to Atlanta?

Instructions for Swami Paper Napkin Holder
What Is This?
Hi there, I’m Bob Swami. I’m working on some interesting projects I can’t wait to share with you. I’m not so much a “fortune teller” as a “mystic seer”, which is another way of saying “self-aware charlatan with good intentions and a strong sense of what’s right and what’s not”. Curious? Lazy? Hip? Those are all good things that qualify you to be a reader. So welcome.
amidst the bent sheets of tin
and the scattered bricks
old man ravindra is drinking tea.
The main theme to my radio show. If I can get SAL back into the control booth and produce for me ever again.
Did you know people are paying “top dollar” for these things on eBay?
This is an “Ask Swami” fortune-dispensing napkin holder, made by the F.E. Erickson company. I will tell you how they work and how they break down.
Why is that little demon poking that nice man with the arrow from a Twister spinner?
A portrait of Yours Truly by Adam Koford from 2008. My office looks about the same as it did then, but with a bit more clutter.
It’s very fair to say that Adam is extremely talented. Please visit his website at http://adamkoford.com/ and say nice things about him to all your friends who can hire him to exercise his extreme talents.
Adam also did a nice portrait of SAL, I will share that with you another time.
