Can I Have A Hug?

This morning at HPC we had a visitor. A gentleman of a somewhat homeless nature, bolted right through the front door- large wal-mart sack of clothes in hand and headed straight for the coffee pot in the parlor.

Alerted- my guardian CUG followed the guy around the parlor until he got his coffee. Passing back through the front desk area he spoke aloud, "I need a job" then "Oh you have postcards?! Can I have a postcard?" I responded very quickly that we had just recently run out and more were ordered.

Turning to leave he suddenly whipped around and asked, "Can I have a hug?"
Without thinking in a shruggish voice I said, "uh no..."
He turned to leave again saying, "Oh, I'm an ugly guy anyway."

Sounds crazy but it's true, and to top it off I ended up with this lovely baseball card from the Colorado Rockies featuring number 17, Todd Helton.

Who would have thought that so much excitement can come from polishing apples!
