(1) There was a great teriyaki special at the Courtyard Cafe yesterday morning, and when I stepped up to pay for it, the nice lady there said it was on the house.

(2) Went to a downtown drug store yesterday to buy a battery, and they gave me one for free.

(3) Found a great therapist over the weekend who agreed to meet with me once a week.  When I went to the counseling center to fill out the paperwork, I naturally inquired about the pay. To my amazement, they said it would be pro bono.  

(4) Had a nice chat with the lady at the family-run computer store downtown.  When I asked about the apartments they own upstairs, it appeared they might have an opening after repairs are finished.  When I asked what the rent would be, she replied: “Variable.”

(5) I really enjoyed the free corn beef and cabbage dinner last night at my favorite church in my favorite town, where I happen to have been born, long ago.  Some of the best things in life truly are free.
