Some of you remember me telling you in a previous post about Resole America, conveniently accessible online at http://www.resole.com/. When I did the video review of their services, I told you they were kicking me a discount on the repairs for in exchange for me telling you about them. I had already paid full price in advance. They liked the review so much they picked me as the winner of a video contest they were running. In fact, instead of a refund check, they sent me a check for $250. That’s a lot of clams, so in the interest of full disclosure, I wanted to tell y’all about the contest.
I didn’t know we had entered, so when I saw the check, I told our crack accounting department, aka the Sporting Wife, there had been some kind of mistake. She said, “You must have won the contest http://ukvia….-uk/!” “What contest?” “They were running a contest for the best video. I didn’t tell you because I never thought you’d win.” Thanks for the vote of confidence, sugar-britches. She now says she didn’t want me to be nervous while I was shooting the video. Nice try. Advertisers, it appears some people actually pay money for this stuff. Let me feel the fiber of your fabric.

It certainly does. And thanks for catching the typo too. That’s what I get for writing at work. If only some sponsors would support me in the style to which I have become accustomed. (It wouldn’t take much: tacos, Old Milwaukee, and the Speed Channel.)
