I work with a lot of fun people here at Grab HQ.

Among them is Deuce. You may remember him from his numerous message board and blog postings.  He's a popular guy here on Grab.com, and I tend to say frequently: Everybody loves Deuce.

Today, we have a special affection for Deuce.  Because he has now twice made me into a winner.  How so?

Well, my first "win" was yesterday. I lunched with Deuce and Conrad across the street.  I made a reference to the hit 80s tune "One Way or Another."  There was some debate as to the original performer of that tune.  I said Blondie, Deuce said the Pretenders, and Conrad went with Pat Benatar.  Deuce and I made it interesting, to the tune of $5.

The Internet on my cell phone proved me right, and Deuce treated me to lunch. Win #1.

And the second win is less materialistic -- it's health-related.  Deuce has started doing wheat grass shots a few days a week, which he'd mentioned to me.  2.5 pounds of green vegetables in a single plastic cup.  He inspired me to join him today, so we both choked back a glass of grass this morning -- with me admittedly more nervous about the experience than he.  (It was my second-ever wheat grass shot; the first was a few years ago in college.)

Let me say this: It's awful.  Wheat grass tastes like grass only worse.  And you burp grass for hours, and feel it in your bones.

I can't wait to do it again tomorrow.

All I can say is, this crap better be healthy.  But so long as it is -- I win again.  Hooray!
