While I'm waiting for the Path, I couldn't help but ask myself, "Why didn't I drive in?" I didn't have a good answer. Think Bob, THINK! I get into the city and wait for the B/D train uptown. I get up to work and I'm just tired. Maybe not leaving my apartment on Sunday wasn't such a great thing after all. Get out more Bob, get out more!
I haven't been watching what I eat lately. This fact hit home Sunday morning, I was eating some cereal, I looked at the box and saw this:
Time to get back
"More clovers in every bowl" should not be a selling point to a 34 year-old man! I wouldn't go into a restaurant and order Lucky Charms, why am I eating them at home?
I was talking to my friend, Pam, the other day and she was excited because she just joined an exclusive club; She bought her first car. I like cars and I like Pam, her car really sounded interesting, so, I asked Pam to tell us a little about her '91 Corolla, Merlot Kitten (how priceless is that name?), Pam?
"Thanks, Bob - I am the third owner of this car and the engine and transmission are the originals. I bought it for two-hundred bucks. I had to replace the rear brakes, muffler and battery. This was an additional $371. The last owner put 260,000 miles on it in 8 years. They are mostly highway miles.

The passenger side door does not open from the inside. Half the key broke off in the ignition and because of this, Merlot Kitten, doesn't always start right away, but here's the trick: Turn key, place foot on brake, shift car into neutral, shift car back into park, take foot off brake, turn ignition off, remove key and retry. This must be followed exactly or Merlot Kitten will not respond. The radio does not work, so a boom box must be kept in the car. The car really runs great and I think it's a steal!"
About four hours after she gave me that information, Pam called me in a panic:
"I lied, I lied! I just talked to the previous owner and she had to replace the engine and transmission. You can't print that diary, I'm not a liar!"
I was so moved by Pam's honesty and lack of asking some simple questions BEFORE she bought the car that I asked her to join me in my office for a special bobborden.com gift.
Bob gives Pam an
One question: Does it get any better than that? Honesty pays on bobborden.com.
Time for a new feature to bobborden.com, I call it: bobborden.com's Office Mystery. Monday morning, I wake up, get a shower and get dressed -- little did I know that what I put on would come into play later. I'm at the office, working and I walk into Steve Young's office. We were both shocked when we looked at each other:
We dressed exactly
Can you believe it?! Why did this happen? Why did I choose a blue polo instead of a black polo? Why did Steve wear khakis instead of jeans?! Incredible, amazing and a bobborden.com Office Mystery -- Tell Your Friends! Now that I look at the photo, Steve's shirt may be closer to Purple than blue -- Eh, whatever.
That's it! Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Bob
I posted a diary yesterday, don't forget to check that out in my diary archives. Whew! Two long ones in a row - don't expect much more from me this week, ha ha.
