One of the great joys in life is being a fly on the wall and observing life's little oddities. It's even better when you get to observe someone you know -- such was the case yesterday morning. I was standing in Rupert's Hello Deli waiting for my order and in walks my friend/coworker, Steve Young. Steve is a creature of habit, everyday around lunch, he treats himself to some M & M's - yesterday was no exception. So, Steve looks at the candy rack and there are no M & M's! The next thing I know, Steve moves some customers out of his way and is on the floor, looking in the empty M & M box!

This is as angry as I've
ever seen Steve

He asks Rupert's business partner, May, to help him find some M & M's, and now she's looking! While this is going on, I point to Steve and say, 'You just made my diary' Ha ha! He accepts that and continued the search. Finally, a bag of peanut M & M's were found behind some other kind of candy and for the first time since Steve set foot in Rupert's, all is right with the world.

This is as happy as I've
ever seen Steve

For agreeing to have his likeness in today's diary, I'm going to give Steve a bag of M & M's. It's the least I can do, I'm going to dine out on this story for years...YEARS!

I bought some new headphones yesterday! I got tired of the cheap pairs that sound like crap, so I broke down and treated myself to a pair of Bang & Olufsen Form 2 headphones.

Sweet!

Man, they sound fantastic! Perfect for listening to November Rain, which I'm doing every night in November. I showed my new purchase to my friend Paula and she basically said that I look like an idiot with them on. This, I have to say, pissed me off! Because she kept saying it, over and over, "You're not going to wear those in public are you?" I don't need to get heckled on my headphone choice! And I'm past the point where I give a s%#t about what people think about me! We've since made up but good night nurse, I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut (I don't know what that means)! Bang & Olufsen have a sweet phone for sale, it's only $850, ha ha. For that much, the thing better make me dinner!

That's it! Have a great weekend!

Best,

Bob
