Phantom Begging
When I was doing my internship several years ago, I went in one day wearing all black with a VeggieTales tie. I explained that I was dressed this way so people might not notice I didn't own an iron.
The next time I came in, two different women gave me new irons.
Impressed with my success, I went in again a few weeks later dressed the same way and explained that I did not have any living room furniture.
A couple donated their old living room furniture to me.
I debated trying it one more time and letting everyone know I didn't have a 46" HDTV.

Sometimes, when I game...I ask higher level players for their swords too. |

Recap
This morning, I went shopping...and Starbucks was closed.
Also true. |
That said, today started off well. I woke up without my alarm clock at 7 a.m.—while it was still dark—showered, slipped out the house, and did groceries while the masses were still amassing.
Perfect people-free morning.

Weekend Wrap-Up
Not much new today, but there has been some enlightenment on items from this week.
Has Anyone Seen My Money?
In sweet racket news, the Space Monkey has posted her account regarding The Diagnosis. In case I left you thinking you might want to get yourself some Assurant Health (part of Key Benefit Administrators, a participant in the PHCS health network), I think she will set you straight.
Also on that front, I have learned by force of relation that the MD-DPR toll hikes have begun phase one: the toll to get to the Eastern Shore of MD-DPR is now $4.00.
This...is intolerable.

My Veterans
By my own admissions, this is intended to be a humor blog. Today, though, I want to take a break to talk about the men in my family who have served this country. This will not include my extended family because, being Hispanic and having married Irish(ish?), we could start our own brigade. I am, however, thankful for their service as well.
Of the veterans in my family, the most important of them, to me, is this one:
