    I once worked as a short order cook in a small, corner cafe in a casino. The cafe was aptly named “The Corner Cafe,” which I worked at for over ten years. There were several daily specials on the menu which included a ninety-nine-cent breakfast and a twenty-five-cent, all you could drink, cup of coffee.… Read more

  • Skunk Lives Matter Too

    While on my day road trip Monday, I counted over twelve dead bodies on the road. I’m talking roadkill, and dead skunks in particular (do skunks have nine lives too?}.

She scanned everything after I had told her that 99.9% of the time self-checkout does not work for me, and that I’d need assistance… Read more

  • Have a Great Day and Don’t Bite Anybody!

    I am not sure what started that little exit remark, but I know the day it began. A couple months ago, I was helping my daughter with her yard sale and as the last customer was leaving, out of the blue, I heard those words come out of my mouth. “Have a great day and… Read more
