Squire, attend me!

I haven't given Ulix much love recently, so here's a long overdue shout-out to my faithful Polar Bar.

'Don't mind me, I'm just a Polar Bar'
'No buddy, you deserve it!'

During the night, we had snow. (Dramatic setting for heroism.)

"WTF y u do this? Lousy Smarch weather!"

My poster-board curtain came loose from its handlebar, (Gasp! O no!)

 but Ulix held it in place the whole night with his triangle nose!

Polar Bar to the rescue!

What a good guy he is! I scratched him under the chin. He likes that.

*Drools*

When I find my Dulcinea and dispel her enchantment, I will make Ulix governor of his own island.

"It was a practice very much in vogue with the knights-errant of old to make their squires governors of the islands or kingdoms they won, and I am determined that there shall be no failure on my part in so liberal a custom." - Miguel de Cervantes (translation by John Ormsby)

Found the perfect girl for him too, her name is Gracie and she is a sweetheart.

A local Trader Joe's grocery store has a giraffe on staff. She rewards little kids with stickers and 'suckers' if they can find where she is in the store.

"Grace"

I love the playfulness of her job, so I pay her a visit every time I shop. The above picture is from last week. I tried to get a selfie with Grace yesterday, but unfortunately my phone was out of battery. As you can see, she's a hard gal to get a hold of!

EDIT: Got a selfie with Gracie!
 

Grace has a lot of important work to do, just like my boy Ulix. But the nature of her job requires that she move around quite a bit more than he does. That's how she keeps her trim figure.

Too bad Gracie doesn't have a Facebook that I can follow... yet. (I asked about it and a purple haired cashier-ess just loved the idea of creating one!) Maybe I could ask her friend to double-date. ^_~
