Home again...
Back in good 'ol 'sconny for a few days. Interviewing for jobs in Madison, training, seeing friends, and finishing up my Christmas shopping are about the only things that I need to worry about. Life is good.
I am all done with my Christmas shopping except for finding my brother's christmas gift. A long time ago, we started finding gifts for each other that were borderline mean, but still useable. Think disgusting foodstuffs that you need to eat out of courtesy, a coffee mug that has cheap refills at a gas station, but I don't live anywhere near those gas stations to get any benefit out of the mug, etc. I think it may have started when he 'gave' me a toy one year, and then proceeded to run away with it and play with it himself. (if you are interested, it was the 'Real Power Tool Shop'- one of those 9v battery operated saws that one can cut all kinds of shapes in balsa wood- it was actually pretty sweet- I believe it was circa early 90s), I'd like to say that he was the one that chose this path of doom for our Christmas gifts to each other.
So anyways, I am trying to top the bright red 'Hawaiian Punch' flavored bundt cake that I got him last year. After checking the junk areas at the truck stops that I stopped at during my travels resulted in nothing. I naturally travel to a local gas station to find the finest in foods that will remain completely fresh until Christmas (2008). Nothing of worthiness. Not even a pickled polish sausage to be seen. I was thinking Chuck E. Cheese tokens, so that he NEEDS to take his kids there and watch robots play styrofoam guitars, but that might be too mean. The search continues...
