Today: Get a regular glove.
My dreams of obtaining The King of Pop’s bedazzled glove have been dashed. Hoffman Ma, a hotelier from Macao, “won” that bad boy for $420,000 (his high bid of $350,000, plus commission). MJ wore the sparkler the same day he debuted his signature moonwalk in 1983. I was one and presumably debuting a regular walk.
I mostly just need a new regular pair of gloves, and $420K is just a bit high… especially for only one glove. Do you think Mr. Ma will bedazzle a second white glove, so he has a matching, functional pair? Probably unlikely. Waaaait a minute! Amazon sells knock offs? I might just buy one or two online. $4.99 seems about right. Maybe I could turn around and auction one off to Mr. Ma!
OK. I need to stop. In fact, I probably shouldn’t have started.
Also On Tap for Today:
- We are finally, finally moving into our new office space. All my pieces of flair are packed up.
- Clark’s first trip to obedience class. Obey my dog!
What would you bid for one of my old socks?

I would bid $0.00 for one of your socks, but I like your blog!

Ooh, my niece (age 11) “discovered” MJ after his death. Maybe a $4.99 glove for her is in the works…maybe.

I think I’m good with socks right now. Do you have any cast-off earmuffs?
