Well, I've picked up a new nickname.  My wife has aptly begun to call me the shopping grinch.  I must admit, it's pretty well deserved, especially when we go to Sams Club or Walmart.  Those places are always packed with such friendly people that I just can't help but bubble over with joy.  Today it was Sams Club.  I started whining as soon as we pulled into the parking lot.  Oh well, being a shopping grinch has its perks.  She told me that next time she goes to Sams, she'll leave me at home!  ;-)
