The Birth of the Clap Award

The Clap Award came about one day while I was out with my wife, returning from shopping. We were stopped at a red light when I saw a driver opposite us take advantage of an advanced green to make a U-turn and proceed back the way he came. He then made an illegal turn, crossing two north and two south bound lanes. All this so he could go to the Tim Horton's coffee shop. I decided that such a bonehead moved like that required some sort of recognize, so I started clapping. My wife asked what I was doing, and I replied, "I'm giving that driver the clap." And thus, The Clap Award was born.

Update

Due to a lack of time, and ideas, I have not been posting as often as I would like. I always thought it was important to post something that had substance - that had meaning, or was about something. Unfortunately, that made it hard to come up with something to post. The ironic thing is that once I start writing a posting, I find it very easy.

I hope to make regular posting a habit, and to help with that, I am creating two new features. The first is called "Tales From My Wife - Stories of a Fast Food Cashier". My wife works as a cashier for a fast food chain. Every week she comes home wild or strange stories the customers she had served. This feature will chronicle those stories.

The second feature is "The Weekly Clap Awards". This will showcase those individuals who deserve "the clap" - not to be confused with the STD, but you get the idea. The award is given out to acknowledge the actions of people who do something that makes you say "What the ...".

Stay tuned as I will start posting the new features soon.
