The talk around the office

The talk around the office is that electric organs distinctly remind the JI staff of the movie "Punch-Drunk Love."

I don’t know – I came

I don’t know – I came home with a sweet electric organ and a cool old church sign. The church sign actually won the competition for my fiancée Molly, and she netted a Culver’s gift card. I’d say we made out like bandits, although she has already expressed her dislike for my new electric organ.

I would say the Best

I would say the Best treasure is the $10.00 she gave ya already.

I am back in my hometown of Platteville, Wis., today to watch my sister and her future husband graduate from college. That’s all well and good, but what I’m really excited about is a competition my mom outlined for my sisters and I.

We were each (along with our significant others) given $10 and told to go out into Platteville’s citywide garage sale to find the best bargain that we could. The couple with the winning treasure will get some sort of prize (she didn’t say what).

I’m totally going to dominate this competition.
