NERD ALERT!

Beware, I tell you. Keep your eyes peeled always, in case you see them wandering by. Be quiet, hold your position and look for that tell-tale sign, one that has become unmistakable over the past nine months.

If the Berglons appear at your front door or perhaps phone you and ask about sleeping over, just watch out! Make sure they do not have their signature piece of coveted property in hand, their journals!

If they do, follow these important Rules of Engagement:

1) Hide all of your brochures, newspapers, magazines or photographs
2) Keep scissors & glue hidden
3) Do not make the experience memorable or you may discover later that you are missing one of grandma’s lace napkins

Nine months with nothing to do – no work, no agendas, no meetings to attend, no alarms to wake up to (well, not many) - will do crazy things to a person, or persons for that matter. Maintaining a written journal has filled that void, almost to an obsessive level. As each day passes, finding time for Berglon Journal Hour becomes more and more critical, TO THEM!

If a napkin has a pretty picture, you might find Andy folding and licking and ripping and gluing. Or if a future goal crosses Stacy’s mind, the colored pencils may find their way to paper and then…?? Panoramic vistas need to be drawn, beer bottle labels must be peeled and stuck, a well-used map or memorable train ticket? GOLD I tell ya!! Armed with nine journals in nine months between the two, make these two a scary prospect for any castle handout or already-been-used pass or ticket. Instead of the trash where such sought after items might normally find themselves, they end up stuck in a book forever with these two.

Beware!!!
