Day 24: BAD Blogger!

6 days, three pat downs and several internet outages later...

I'm Back!

Beard 2: Coming back in, nothing to write home about.

Free Meals: 11 (a very special thanks to Kim Mason who bought me lunch AND drove me to the DMV)

New-to-me Movies: 6 (i figured this number would have been higher by now)

Jobs applied to: 10

Interviews: 1

My apologies dear friends. Unemployment has been surprisingly busy. I didn't even manage a post-shave picture. But don't worry, I have to shave again on Monday for interview number 2. We can do the whole side by side comparison then.

One thing I learned on my vacation: My driver's license expired back in February. How did I learn this? The nice man at Delta told me when I tried to check a bag for my flight back to New York. I was then red flagged frisked three times and "randomly" selected for additional security screening. I was well aware why I was flagged, there's really no need to call it random.

The good news is, when I replaced the license on Monday, I finally got rid of my "harry potter" picture and look like a grownup on my license.

I promise to return to my regular silly posts tomorrow. In the meantime here's where beard 1 peaked:

Day 11: Opening Day

Beard: Seriously, why are there asymmetrical patches in my facial hair?

Free Meals: 8 (a couple beers, a hot dog and some peanuts count, right? They cost enough!)

Well it a was a very nice stadium. And a beautiful day for a baseball game. But I got sunburned, and the Yankees got their butts kicked. Somewhere around the 6th inning the crowd started chanting for the center-fielder to pitch instead. Its a long season, we'll see how it goes. Of course, I don't have a TV so every game I see will either be at the stadium or at a bar.

Weekend Round-Up: Resurrecting The Jesus Look

The Beard: Well no one mistook me for a New Testament Fanboy sporting the Jesus look for Easter. Maybe by next Easter.

Free Meals: Racked up a few with a weekend at my parents'. We'll call it 5 for the weekend racking the ground total up to 6.

Day One: There's No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

Free Lunch, Free Concert.

Dan Hicks in a live radio broadcast at BB Kings in Midtown.

It was a fun show.  Kind of a less annoying "Country Bear Jamboree".

For those of you playing the home game, embedded below is my first YouTube Video sampling the sounds of Dan Hicks.  I'll post the WFUV archive of the show when it goes up.

Of course afterward I got roped into making fundraising calls for WFUV.  Which just goes to show...
