Monday

Well, I bought my watch this weekend! I went to the store planning to buy the Omega Seamaster and, at the last minute, I made a move to the Tag. It was basically between the Tag Carrera with automatic movement versus the Omega which was battery operated (another grande to get the auto version of the Omega). The watches were very similar in style. I should add I went to the Galleria mall Saturday and the saleslady at the one store, in response to my asking how much they discount off suggested retail, told me "we don't really discount but we give great customer service." The guy yesterday at KENNY G., would do the same discount on either Tag or Omega, over 20% off suggested retail (the same suggested retail as the other store) AND offered to clean it free for life and, if I bought one with a battery (I ended up not buying that model) he would give me free batteries for life. So, 20% discount and specific customer service items! I LIKE KENNY G! I bought it at the Kenny G down in the Heights which really isn't too far from my crib as several friends like to remind me. At the last minute I asked the Kenny G salesguy (I think Kenny's son) what additional discount he would give me if I bought on the spot and he came down another $40. Good on him! Came down exactly 25% I think, from $1,900 to $1,520. He even made mine and Kitty Kat's wedding rings look like new and that was before we made the purchase! Then after we bought he even shinned up Kitty Kat's Rollie to make it look like new too. Props to Kenny G's!

Ok, but that's not the story I planned to tell you about. This morning on the ride in from the gym something happened that I can't really tell anybody about here at the office. Would sound like sexual harrasement. This REALLY happened though. So every morning I eat one yogurt on the way to the gym and one yogurt on the way from the gym to the office. I prefer Safeway brand (only fifty cents each) without fat or sugar. They are like 80 calories but they fill you up and have good flavor. Ok, so the yogurt on the way to the gym is no problem but while the second yogurt sits in the car the gases build up inside and thus I have to peel the foil lid off very carefully to avoid it exploiding. Basically, I release one corner the smallest possible amount, as I drive down the street, to release the pressure. Once I see a drop of yogurt on my finger I know it's ok to open the rest of the way. I have had them explode and thus have some yogurt stains on my car from time to time. However, I am now good at covering the hole with the finger as I open it to prevent the splatter.

Today I was eating a Pineapple Passion (or some such flavor) which is an off white color. So, I am rolling down Garden Highway from the Racquet Club, as I went there this morning to shoot a few baskets, and I peeled the corner back on the yogurt. A tiny spreckle of yogurt was on my finger so I knew it was safe to open it the rest of the way as I do the same ritual every morning. I was holding the yogurt about 6 to 10 inches from my face as I finished peeling the top off and guess what? There was still no pressure inside... a lot of it! Basically it reminded me of that bathroom scene from that movie where the guy ends up with a glob of.... I think it was called Something About Mary? Anyway, if you know the scene you know what I am talking about. I don't actually think that much splattered but some did. I thus have patted down my blue sweater I am wearing today and wiped my face off several times.

Some stuff you can't make up... it's just real f'ing life on a Monday morning!

Peace out.
