Good day to you. I didn't make it to the A & P this weekend. That became all to obvious yesterday morning when I shook the last possible drop of deodorant out of the bottle. Last night, I went to the drug store to replenish my stock. I found my brand but the price was way too high. I pay about $3.50 and they jacked the price up to $4.99! On top of that the bottle was filthy! It looked like it fell off the truck and into a puddle of mud. I said to myself, screw this. I got back to Hoboken and went to a drug store. They had my brand but it was scented, I hate scented deodorant! I went to another store; they didn't have my brand at all! Is this a conspiracy? Was I being followed? I went to a fourth store and finally, they had it at a fair price. Crazy. It's not like I was looking for some kind of special foreign-made deodorant of the Gods - I just wanted unscented Dry Idea! It drove me nuts. But the upside is I found a new soap. The folks over at Irish Spring have done it again with a new scent - Icy Blast, whatever the hell that means. I like unscented deodorant but enjoy the fresh, crisp scent of soap - go figure.

I read a magazine article today and the writer used the phrase, "arguably the best actor of his generation". I think that's cheating. It means nothing. You can write that about anything! Bob Borden is arguably the best love maker of his generation. See, it's stupid! Another over-used expression "post 9/11" and "It's the economy - again!" There has to be a better way to get your point across, right?

I watched some tube and listened to some music last night. I needed some chill time after a very busy Monday.

If you'll remember the first paragraph of today's diary you'll recall talk of a new soap on the market. Well, I'm proud to announce that BobBorden.com and Irish Spring have teamed up for an exciting new BobBorden.com contest. It's called the I Want an Autographed Free Bar of Soap Contest!

FREE SOAP!

Tell me you want to win on my message board and you'll be in it to win it! Good luck - results in tomorrow's diary.

That's it!

God Bless America.
