I am gonna get back to writing these post on a regular basis, promise, but my life can be (YAWN) slow sometimes. We did have some excitement on Monday night. Ginny went out to the local Harris Teeter for a few items and while swiping her debit card heard a loud buzz come from the cash register. Now we all know that a loud buzz is not usually a promising sound, so sure enough the manager walks over and asks Ginny if she would walk with her over to the customer service desk. The manager asked Ginny her name and then got on the microphone and announce to the store that she was the 400th customer of the day and all her groceries were free. When Ginny came home and told me I asked her the obvious question, “Why didn’t you go buy a lottery ticket?” I must say I have never bought a lottery ticket in my life. The whole game thing seems like a waste of money but come on Ginny was on a role. Our bill at Harris Teeter was $84.33 so I guess in a way we did win the lottery but a few million dollars would have been nice.

I’ve been experiencing some changes lately that bother me slightly. It all started in the car a few months ago. The family and I were driving, to who know where, when I noticed my wife staring at me. Not one of those “I love you” stares more like W.T.Flip stares. She reaches up and pulls out a pinch of hair from my ear, from my freakin’ ear. Normally I would shrug it off as one of those strange wild hairs that just pop up from time to time in various places. No, there’s more than one of these things, practically a forest was growing out of my ear. Have you ever seen one of those nature shows where monkeys are picking at each others fur and examining the results? Bingo. After the ear trauma I notices other strange things. Hair growing from the tip of my nose was the next place. Fine, I remove it only to notice that a week later they’ve multiplied. Now there are eight. Finally last night, while scratching my back, I felt “fur” where there was previously nothing. I am now completely convinced that I am turning into a Hobbit, that or a werewolf.
