Anyway, this afternoon I got stopped. Mr. Incredible did the trick. I still plan to wear the other shirts... I won a Home Depot gift certificate. I have no idea how much it's for, Home Depot's policy is to have you come into the store to check your balance. Not that I'm complaining. My guess is that it's $25, $50, $75 or $100, since anything above that requires you to fill out a tax form. Even $25 is nice. Tara might just get her closet finished after all...
I got stopped a second time, but it's a one prize per person thing. (They identify you by your hat, and write "I won" on the hat after you win so you can't win a second time.)
OK, so it helped that the session I went to was fairly boring, mostly just reading off slides of information that's on the web, nothing new and exciting, so instead, I saw one of the prize patrol, watched where they were going, and went down the next hall. (The place is set up in "a maze of twisty little passages, all alike") Start from point A, turn right or left 3 times, and you walk into the place you started from. Several interations of following and turning paid off. Who says being a stalker never paid off?
Anyway objective #1 has been met (Win a prize). Still 4 more objectives to go, I'll let you in on them as we go along.
Last year, I won a gift certificate to the HP certified store. I got this pen, and a nice shirt, that's a little too big for me. (It was the afternoon of the last day, and the store had been pillaged by then. The store appears to not have the pens in stock here this week, but they do have a nice electronic sudoko then. (Or Electronic Number Place) I'm thinking hard about that one. I did really like that pen. It wrote nice and had a really nice feel to it.

You're a genius!! Good thing someone buys you all those loud shirts or your plan would never have worked.
