Tiff’s TomTom has me jealousjealous

Tiff’s belated birthday present arrived yesterday afternoon and I’m totally envious. Yes, her birtday WAS back in May, but she has spent the last two-and-a-half months trying to find a work bag she liked.

Congrats to Baumann who upgraded from his job at HHGregg and made his first three cable sales yesterday evening.

I’m a little annoyed that I’m not gonna get the Baumann discount when I finally upgrade the receiver of my entertainment system, but at least I got a TV out of the deal.

Text Message

I received the above text message last night at 1:35 a.m. from a number I didn’t recognize. The person who sent the message accidentally used the wrong phone number and thought I was somebody else. So, naturally, I went with it. Here’s the full text of what turned into a 2 hour conversation:

I mean seriously? I dont even know his name…GAY. GAY. GAY. by the way im apparently thirteen - 1:35 a.m.

Tom Petty’s show sells out, Rocks out

Tom Petty Sold Out Crowd

Neither heat, nor rain, nor sold-out-crowd ruined our enjoyment of Tom Petty’s show at Riverbend in Cincinnati Tuesday night. His show was excellent as usual.

But we’re putting up the extra cash for pavilion seats next time.
