Friday I got in from taking a Girl Scout troop on a fossil hunting field trip, and I was really famished.  I didn't have any of my family with me, and when I dine alone I like to have something to read as I eat my meal.  I walked into my local Hasting's and headed to the Used Book bin, and saw a copy of Dave Barry's BOOGERS ARE MY BEAT, a collection of his columns from 200-2002.  I'm a huge fan of Dave Barry - he is one of the funniest human beings ever to live, in my opinion.  So I picked up the book to read over lunch for about $4.99.  Got to the restaurant, ordered my Mandarin Chicken Wings, and opened it up - to find that the thing was signed, and dedicated, by Dave Barry himself!  The marker had even bled thru the page a bit, so I knew it was real.  I now have a signed book by my favorite humorist!  And I got it for $4.99! :cheers:

Dave Barry is a huge hero of mine and it would be a dream come true to meet him!
