You may or may not have noticed that it's been a while since I posted. Part of the reason is because I went to Chicago last week to lead some training. As a small token of her appreciation, the woman who organized the training gave me this cute pen.

She also asked me to bring a pen back to someone in my home office who had helped her on a project. No problem—I threw them both in my computer bag, and away I went.

When my bag went through the x-ray machine at the airport, the screener actually said, "Do you have bobbleheads in there?" I suppose they did look a little odd on his machine.

When I got home I pulled them out to show J.P., and when I left for work yesterday morning I took one with me. The other one was standing on the kitchen table.

I got a phone call yesterday afternoon. J.P. said, "Where did you leave that bobble-head pen?"

Uh-oh. I knew right away what had happened. I'll give you three guesses . . .
