I hesitated before I punched the &#8220;cash back&#8221; button on the debit card reader at Costco. I hadn&#8217;t planned to get cash, but &#8230; well, I didn&#8217;t have even a dollar. So, &#8220;OK,&#8221; I tapped, and received a crisp $20 bill.           ]]></description>

I&#8217;m playing mah jongg online, an absolute time-waster but also an absolute addiction, and normally I would have expected her to just holler, &#8220;Mom?!&#8221; and her question, or send me a text message, from wherever she was in the house.           ]]></description>
