Mea Culpa

I totally forgot to mention it yesterday and I'm sure some of you might hate me now because of it... Yesterday was Dairy Queen's 570th (or something) Anniversary and they were giving away free vanilla cones all day. The missus and I went to get ours last evening. When I asked about the free cones, the 15 year old behind the counter said well, they are technically free but we're asking that you make a small donation to the Children's Miracle Network and slides me a scrap of paper with the orgs name scribbled on it. Hmm me thinks this was not a DQ sanctioned solicitation... "Well, I thought the cones were free, so I didn't bring any money ::smile:: Sorry!" I wonder how much that kid collected yesterday and if any of it actually will make it to CMN...

*Update: I was wrong - CMN is right there on the DQ home page - oops. ya'd think they might have a more official looking solicitaion request than just a scrap of paper...

While enjoying our free cones we strolled up to Hollywood Video and rented Confidence with Ed Norton (the grifter), Dustin Hoffman (the pron king), and Andy Garcia (the agent). I thought it was great. If you like con game movies, it's worth the rental.
