Balloon Man

An old friend of mine was being kind of a show-off by trying to impress me with his real estate holdings and how much money he’s making nowadays by “flipping houses” and developing properties.

It didn’t work – I wasn’t very impressed, and we even ended up coming to the realization that we don’t have much in common anymore.

On the other hand, THIS GUY rocks..

Ohhhh! BALLOONS! I tried to do something similar at a local nursing home, but the idea of using balloons never occurred to me. I went around putting crustaceans on the old people. Then I tried nickels. Then snow-tires. I got no smiles, but a couple of people swore at me. Balloons would have gone over much better.

I never know which is going to be funniest: the blog post or the comments.

When I was in High School our choir used to go sing at the local home. It was simultaneously the most uplifting and most depressing afternoon of the year. This is pretty cool though.
