Our Money Daydreams: Faith and a Truly Unlimited Bus Pass

by Joshua Michtom

In my own easy money fantasy, my brass band is out somewhere, playing a cover of George Michael’s “Faith” (this part is actually not a fantasy; I have a brass band, and we do cover that song). Inexplicably, Jack White is in Hartford, hears us playing, and decides he wants to pay us handsomely to make an album of funky brass band covers of George Michael songs. The album does moderately well and we are all able to get time off from our day jobs to go on a lucrative concert tour, which conveniently happens in the summer so I can bring my kids along.

Sometimes, I also dream of getting a bus pass that never runs out of fares.
