I have a new co-worker, at work, obviously. I'll call him Marc G., because Marc is his name. His last name starts with G. but I don't know if he wants his identify to be fully know across cyber space and as there are about a million people who read this blog, I wanted to respect his privacy.
So, having said all of that, Marc and I recently took a trip to LaGrange, Indiana for a court hearing for one of my foster kids. On the way up Marc and I discovered that we both are very interested in model airplanes and radio controlled cars and the such. Marc then asked if I had been to Phil's Hobby Shop because it has some really cool stuff in it. I replied no, but that I really enjoy going to Hobby stores. I then recounted one of the saddest days of my life, the day I walked into Hobby Lobby expecting it to be full of really cool stuff and found that it was really full of...
"Junk!" blurts in Marc. He too had been fooled by the Hobbyish name of the store filled with nothing cool. Not even partially cool, just super boring lame stuff. Even the smell of it is boring. The sign however is somewhat cool. First of all it has the word Hobby in it. Second, it orange and kind of slanted, giving the impression of action. Completely misleading. If there is anyone who has not been duped by Hobby Lobby's signage, consider yourselves warned.
my wife loves Hobby Lobby...
