My wife received a text on her cell phone last night, to the effect of: "Hey. That was so cool you writing your phone number on my arm last night. You made me feel like a total stud." Now I know what you're thinking. But, my wife has an alibi...being that she was with me the entire weekend, because we were out in Maryland visiting my family. So, the lesson we can learn from this story is that on the other side of this exuberant kid was a girl giving out phony numbers to nerds, and laughing about it with her friends. Ah, to be young.

I had a headlight go out the other day, and I couldn't install a new one myself, because I am obviously, not really a man. So, I called up Jiffy Lube and asked how much it would cost for them to install a new bulb that I would bring in myself. $29. So, I called Walmart. $4.50. Now, let's say you have a moral problem with Walmart's business practices. How high could a Jiffy Lube or other place, provided you liked their business practices, charge you before you decide to cave for the cost? FYI: I'm traveling this weekend. See you on Monday.
