Drink Your Ovaltine!

Before I begin, let me wish each of my loyal readers a happy Thanksgiving!

The holidays are upon us. That excites me for several reasons. One of which is an anticipation that I'll be watching the classic film 'A Christmas Story.' If you haven't seen it, you really should check it out (and on a side note--do you live under a rock?).

The central character anxiously awaits the day when he'll receive his secret decoder ring by mail. With glee, he opens the mailbox one day to find his package has arrived. The secret message is given over the radio later, and he sits down to decipher the code. His joy is quickly squashed when he realizes the message received was nothing more than an admonition to drink his Ovaltine!

Oh, how I can relate. I sat down with a half dozen Dr. Pepper caps a couple of days ago. After 15 'bad caps' in a row...3 of the 6 I entered were winners! Guess what I won? A ringtone and 2 codes for Dr. Pepper wallpaper. So much for great prizes.

At this point, I just hope I get my Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas.
