My pet Devin

So I sent my new employee, Devin, who I wrote about earlier on a very important errand. I told him to send this letter certified mail and that it had to go out on Thursday (yesterday). Luckily I was sitting by the door as he was leaving. He waved the envelope at […]

We have new neighbors!

I was pretty sad to see the shoe shine shop go, since it had been here for something like 80 years. But we have a new neighbor in that spot that opened this past weekend. I’m very happy to say that for a downtown retail shop, they’ve chosen some pretty good hours to […]

It’s been way too long

I have been away for waaaay too long. But as life happens and there are a million things to write about, life is happening, and there’s no time to write. I really have no excuse since I now have Devin the Wonder Intern, but the trouble is, he makes me face the other […]

A group of folks sit on the patio and order lunch. Two ladies join them with boxes of KFC and ask the server […]

The extra message at the end of the message

Dear Verizon,
I have a real pet peeve.
I hate when you call someone’s phone and you get their five second personal message and then you have to waste anther 15 seconds listening to that automated woman tell you how to leave a voicemail.
Seriously? Do we really need instructions? It is literally 3 […]

True colors

Usually the candidate I like running for president doesn’t make the ticket. Usually, they decide not to even run at the last minute or never really considered.
I have found this round of primaries extremely interesting as my husband, a HUGE Ron Paul fan has kept me abreast of the way the media buried […]

St Valentines Day on McGee St…

I must say I was pretty impressed with how many folks showed up last night in the unexpected snow storm to play trivia. One of our trivia regulars who I’ll refer to as “Jason” (because that really is his name — I’m a total meany here, I’ll admit it) said on his Facebook page […]
