Well, the Celebrity Art Auction for the UP Children's Museum actually went well last night. No one died, and people actually seemed interested in bidding for the video I offered to make.
In fact, TWO people were so interested that I'm now making two videos, so I guess that's good, right? The story on that Monday.
But since this non-stop thrill ride of a life I seem to have rolls on and I have to go shoot a TV in a couple of minutes, I'm going to leave you with something I wrote three years ago. Hope you don't mind.
And even if you do...well, there's not much either one of us can do with it.

Have a great weekend!

I don't wear a hat because my head is too small.
There. You happy?
The past few days, with their bitterly cold temperatures, have led to several people ask me why I wasn't wearing a hat while walking to work or walking someplace else. One of them even went so far as to mention that they don't ever recall seeing me in a hat, which could very well be true, at least when I'm not running. I don't wear hats, and I don't wear them for one reason—because I have a very small head.
No, seriously, I do have a small head. In proportion to the rest of my body, my head is smaller than an average person. When discussing it with my dad over the weekend (he being one of those people asking why I wasn't wearing a hat) he noted that I get the small head from him. And it's true. I do get my small head from him. Yet that doesn't stop my dad from wearing a hat wherever he goes.
Probably because he's a normal person.
Maybe it's just me. Okay, it's definitely just me. But I think I look weird in a hat, especially a winter hat. It crushes the only thing that seems to make my head a normal size—what's left of my hair—and it makes my head look like a tan grapefruit sitting on top of a scarecrow's body. And I think I look strange enough as it is. So because I think it makes me look weird, I would much rather freeze my ears off than wear a hat.
Obviously, my dad's much more mature than I, right?
Like I said, I do wear hats when I'm running or skiing, because I really don't care what I look like, and during winter, if I'm gonna be outside for an hour sweating in bitterly cold temperatures, I do actually wanna stay warm. To quote a fake country song title I once came up with, “I May Look Stupid, But I'm Not That Dumb”. But if it's just a five minute walk to work, or a quick dash from one building to another; well, maybe I am that dumb. All because then I DO care what I look like wearing a hat.
I know. A shrink would have a field day, wouldn't they?
Anyway, that's the really bizarre reason why I don't wear a hat. So if you ever see me out in the cold, with ears red and steam rising from my neck, realize that I do know better.
It's just that my small head can't process it.
