Thrift

People who know me well will tell you I'm not the most thrifty guy around. One friend used to joke that I did my grocery shopping at the 7-11 because it was close to home. While I'm confident my broadcasting career will be back on track soon, these things can sometimes take a long time. With that in mind, I've been keeping an eye on expenses a touch more than usual. Do I really want to spend almost $25 for eight of those multiple blade razor blades that fit in the razor with the battery in the handle? What was so wrong with the old ones I used to buy? The ones that cost less than $12 for ten. Should I continue to support this group or that? And about that huge cable TV bill...just how may channels do I really watch? Everything is relative, right? So I save five bucks here and there, staving off the day when I go apply to be the welcomer at the big box retailer. But despite my mostly symbolic thrift, to quote Benjamin Franklin, "Penny wise, pound foolish.." That Tiny Flip HD video camera with an extended memory chip for less than $200? Here's another quote, Benny: "I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow." Thanks Scarlet. Bring it on!
