<DIV>At the Sergio & Mark Show, ME was telling us sometimes Sergio draws and
doesn't realize he's drawing. Once, at a coffeehouse (Sizzler), he was
telling ME how he's no longer going to do sketches because they keep winding up
on ebay....all the while drawing a sketch for a fan.</DIV>

<DIV>I was reminded of this anecdote tonight. I was having dinner with a
business acquaintance at the Olive Garden and he mentioned, in a relaxed manner,
that he just lost $150,000 in the stock market in the last two months. He
just kind of fluffed it off, like it was nothing (oh, if only we could all do
that!). Not ten seconds after telling Janet and I this, he looked down and
noticed he got spaghetti sauce on his white shirt, at which point he went into
an angry fit and was upset for a good two minutes over the fact his shirt is
probably ruined.</DIV>

<DIV>Isn't it amazing what ticks us off and what doesn't?</DIV>
