Got my alumni donation call tonight so they are coming folks. I declined offering a scholarship for a kid since I’m already giving one. I wonder if I could have asked if I could give a scholarship but pick who gets it. Get a tax deduction and look good.
I'm buying a road bike. Tomorrow, I'm driving 45 minutes and meeting somebody at a gas station that I'm not familiar with and handing over an envelope full of money to make this purchase. Craigslist is weird.
What are you getting? "Specialized" is not the full answer, you know.

The mechanism that adjusts the left arm of my office chair was broken. It would stay attached to the chair, but I couldn't raise it above a level that didn't do me any good. I MacGyvered it with some scotch tape and a broken pencil for three days until the scotch tape finally gave out.

I just finished taking the right arm off my chair and moved it to my left side. I'm right-handed and really never used it anyway. It looks wonky, but I have to admit, I kinda like it. Not having the right arm-rest is giving me more room too.

Maybe I'll put the broken armrest on Craigslist and see if JC will buy it.

Is there a good place in KC I can meet you with an envelope full of money?

I pay them to not call me.

Caller kept asking when I said I will be writing a check for a kid to go there next year so any scholarship is going to my own kid.

About 6 months out of college I got a call asking for 5k, I asked if it showed when I graduated, she laughed and said yeah......last year. I told her I’m still paying loans off, she then asked for 2500. I told her that that is still way to high, she apologized and said she has to go in that order. I said I’d give 50 bucks since she was good natured about it. She sounded nice and I almost asked her out.
 
Just met with a guy from the twin cities. Nice guy who is originally from fort dodge. Younger guy, full hair so I know it’s not JC.

I had not even walked yet and they were calling me. I think it was a day or two before graduation and I didn't have a job yet. I told him that and he just lowered it some. I said screw you and hung up.
