I went on a couple of adventures yesterday. The first one has to do with Prilosec OTC. That new over the counter heartburn medicine. Since I have GERD I need the good stuff; apparently so does the rest of the world. Wal-Mart - sold out, pharmacy 1 - sold out, pharmacy 2 - sold out, pharmacy 3 - sold out, pharmacy 4 -- sold out. Finally at the end of the evening I pulled into Tom Thumb and low and behold - they had one box left. I felt like Indiana Jones grabbing the golden head hoping there was no booby trap around. Now I can officially say all of North Dallas is cleaned out. Luckily at the first of the year I'll be back on Nexium - the platinum head. The second adventure involves finding an apartment. I went to Bible study last night at a new place and received directions to their apartment. Bible Study is like a social gathering of Sinners Anonymous, it's like a support group that reads. Anyway, this place is located off of 75, the problem is there is construction on Dallas's biggest intersection between 635 and 75. Apparently I missed the exit and went all the way to downtown Dallas. I turned around and headed back and found the exit. More determined than ever I found what I thought was the apartment complex. Since I didn't have a gate code I parked outside the complex and went looking for it. I was able to sneak in the first gate, but the problem was there was a second gate about 100 yards into the complex that I could not climb. So, being 30 minutes late, I actually had to do the unthinkable - run. I ran all the way back to my car, called the apartment on my cell phone and was guided to the apartment. When I arrived, panting and sweating all I could say was, "Hi". Another adventure solved by Indiana Bass.

Thought of the Day

Sallah: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Junior"?

Professor Henry Jones: That's his name. [points to himself] Henry Jones... [points to Indy] ...Junior.

Indiana Jones: I like "Indiana."

Professor Henry Jones: We named the *dog* Indiana.

Marcus Brody: May we go home now, please?

Sallah: The dog?! You are named after the dog?!

Indiana Jones: I've got a lot of fond memories of that dog.
