I thought I met Doc Searls at one of Dave's blogger dinner, but I just realized that I probably confused Scott Mace with Doc.  Its either my brain aging prematurely or I can't really tell white guys apart.  Actually, I think I am pretty good with faces, but they sometime get jumbled up when I try to fetch them.  Mysteriously enough, I am much better at recognizing women's faces.  Maybe hormone affects my memory in some positive way.

My wife often does same thing with stores.  One time she used an Office Depot coupons at OfficeMax.  OfficeMax guys had a good laugh and accepted the coupon.  There are some good folks at OfficeMax although I wish stores like them have sales less often.  Its like that half-filled glass of water.  I see 50% off sale as attempts to entice me into buying unnecessary junk to fill my house with.  My wife see the sale as an opportunity to get something we might want later.
