I hate having to return to a store I've already been to earlier in the day, either because I forgot something or after driving all around town to other stores it turns out they did have the best price. I'm always worried one of the workers will recognize me and make some comment. I think I've worked out a good alibi though.

If anyone ever asks I'll just look confused at them for a second before I give a flash of realization and tell them it must have been my evil twin. If they continue to press the matter and insist that it was me since the other person was wearing the same clothes, I'll lean in a whisper conspiratorially, "That's what makes him evil." At that point I'd imagine I'd be escorted from the store.

And that's why I always change my shirt if I shop at the same place twice in one day.

Just pretend that said Monkey Nuggets instead of Braingames. So, what happened? How can I quit so soon? I ran out of nuggets.

I had lots of items when I planned this week but when I started writing I kept thinking of more things I wanted to include until I was spending more time on the posts than I had allotted. So while this week was a bit short a lot of good future posts came out of it.

Have you seen the commercials where Abe Lincoln and a snarky groundhog harass some poor sleep deprived guy about getting hooked on sleeping pills? If you haven't or just want a recap I've cut the relevant pieces together.


I want to know what kind of dreams is Doug having. How do Abe, a groundhog and an antiquated deep sea diver relate to each other? Are they trying to unravel the link between Lincoln's assassination, Groundhog Day and the disappearance of Atlantis? Are they a team of unlikely super heroes? I need to know. I wonder if their pills come with a mini comic explaining everything.

As a little kid balloons fascinated me. I wanted to both hold on as tight as I could to keep it from getting away and to let it go so I could watch it soar through the sky. Either choice ended in tears. If I held on to it it was deflated on the floor by the next morning. If I let it go I didn't have a balloon anymore.

As an adult balloons still fascinate me. I want to know where they go. But more importantly if something goes up instead of down is it still considered littering? Even if I tie something to the end of the string? Even if that something is a half eaten hot dog? What kind of park has both a balloon and hot dog vendor but no trash cans?
