October 29: $15 Coldstone Giftcard and Pack of UNO Cards

Given to Dan from Cathy.

In Mexico, they call this game 'One'

This evening, I got to enact my dream of living like a mailman. Despite heavy rain and strong winds, the gift exchange with Dan took place. But today isn't about me. It's about canonizing Dan into blogging sainthood. Get a load of this: not only did he brave the same heavy rain and strong winds, but he also had a nail in his tire and lost power at his home. He called, said he'd be a few minutes late, and we met over a brew and exchanged gifts. I'd say I would change my name to Dan in honor of these heroics--har har--but naming rights for my first-born will have to do.

Good fences also make good State Farm
agents

Dan
-Profession: State Farm Agent

-Favorite fruit with a pancake: Blueberry

-Where would you place the bond that Dan's have on the following scale? (1 being the weakest, 5 being the strongest bond)
1-fellow human; 2-alum from the same school; 3-cried over Lion King together; 4-fellow gang member; 5-blood relative

I'd say it's similar to the felling you'd have for a fellow alum.

-'Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.' Can you tell me three situations where State Farm would be miles away?:
1) need a cab and I can't get one
2) looking for a washer and dryer
3) when I need another drink

-Who/what would be the State Farm spokesperson/mascot?: Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers
-If there were a tag-team match the reps from State Farm (Aaron Rodgers), Progressive (Flo), Geico (the gecko) and Farmer's Insurance (a farmer, presumably), who would be teamed-up?: Aaron Rodgers and the Gecko vs. Flo and the Farmer. We'd win, of course.
