As a writer, we sometimes write something out of the unusual. Well...I guess my time has come. It is about the big red plastic comb. Ok you're saying what? Did he lose it? No! Not yet.

Why does a big red plastic comb have importance? Well...because there is a story behind it, and the story involves Galen Gering (Rafe) of Days of our Lives.

It all began two years ago when Gering was in the Chicago land area for the Days 'Better Living' book signing. I covered the event. Now, I'm the type of guy that always likes to look my best. Not sure it always works, but I carry this big red comb in my pocket, by no means the average looking comb.
