Writer's Block: In The Money
If you won $100 this afternoon, what would you do with it?
I'd go to Cambuí, the next town over, and buy myself a pair of mud-resistant hiking shoes. It's been raining for days and I'm stuck indoors because I only brought with me a pair of shoes that I refuse to get dirty and some Birkenstocks.
After buying the hiking shoes, I'd visit the only bookshop in town and hope they had fiction by Andréa del Fuego, Rodrigo Fresán or José Luís Peixoto. The joys of discovering new authors while watching late night public access television.
I concede that these are not very imaginative ways of spending $100.

Basically he hurt his back at work doing something he'd told his boss he didn't have the right equipment for (and is now suing him) - three medical people have now told him he'll never be able to do manual work again as his back is now screwed permanently :(
