Day 257: Toothpicks, balloons

When your wife is involved in everything -- and I mean everything -- you can have a grocery list that goes something like this: 150 balloons (black and white), 500 toothpicks, and allergy medicine. There's a sock-hop at the elementary school coming up, and Mary's in charge. So balloons and, for some reason, a lot of toothpicks are required. (The allergy medicine was for me.)

So I was checking out at Walmart with this stuff and asked the clerk, a young Asian guy, if I could pray for him. He was surprised, naturally, but he said I could. So I did. He bowed his head for the prayer. Then I shook his hand, thanked him and left.

I'm not going to blow up all those balloons.
