Good things do happen to those that do nothing. I was sitting at my desk and out of the blue, I receive a call, "There's a bunch of free food for you down in the lobby." I didn't have time to think, only react: I got my troops together (Paul the intern) and had him go down to investigate. He comes back with two huge boxes filled with burritos and chips. Have I died and gone to heaven? I love burritos! While I sorted out the paperwork, I asked Paul to bring it to the conference room.

It turns out, Chipotle, a hip new burrito place, sent us the stuff for possible use on the show, how they got my name, I'll never know -- very nice of them. As I was calling the writers to the conference room to tell them free food is here, I see Jay and Walter scurry downstairs with burritos and chips in hand. 


BURRITO THIEVES!

There was more than enough for everyone, that's not the issue but maybe, they should have waited for a green light or at least, some other people. It was pretty funny, I heard later that they just came out of nowhere! "We heard there was free food" Ha ha! A sad note to end this story: All the burritos had sour cream in them -- I hate sour cream.

Wow, I can't believe I got three paragraphs out of that, nice!

I have to tell you, I think the whole idea of the VIBE AWARDS really needs to be rethought.  Punches were thrown, chairs were thrown and someone got stabbed. That was the big news yesterday, so of course, I had to watch. They didn't show the fight but I knew around the time it happened and from that moment on, the audience looked a little thin. Alicia Keys won an award but couldn't accept because she left, ha ha ha! Oh, the Vibe Awards.

I got home last night and I could have kicked myself -- I didn't make my bed. To be fair to myself, I did make it but I did it half-assed. I left the pillow exposed. You're probably saying, 'Bob, don't be so hard on yourself." I would say 'thank you' to that but you don't know why I'm upset. My cats used it as a bed all day. Here's an enhanced photo of my pillow, good luck trying to find it under the cat hair: 

Cat hair on my
pillow
Cat Hair on my Pillow, wasn't that the name of an Audrey Hepburn film? Anyway, cats are great but you have to take the good with the bad. It'd be hard having 100% of your body covered in hair, a lesson for the kids and a very, very sad look into my life, ha ha.

I had a great metal mix on my ipod for the walk home last night. i won't go into the list but it started with Accept's Midnight Mover and finished with Queensryche's The Flame -- good stuff! On The Flame song, that guy hits a note so high, it's crazy...I want to make a joke about how about how a man would go about singing that high, the joke involves private parts and a vice but this is a family website, I won't make that joke. HA HA!

That's it! Have a great Hump day.

All my best,

Bob
