Stuff I Learned Yesterday

In September of 1994 I was hired as a part-time cashier for a local bookstore chain. Nineteen years later I left that chain having worn many hats along the way. I was a cashier, stocker, department head, key carrier, assistant manager, store manager, buyer, co-manager, internet sales coordinator, internet sales manager, and director of ecommerce.

In the summer of 2008 a couple of co-workers and I decided to start a podcast about a new JJ Abrams show called Fringe.

Over the past couple of weeks I have become diligent about re-entering the habit of getting healthy. Temperatures have plummeted here, just as I know they have taken a nosedive in the rest of the Midwest recently. Two days ago we were enjoying sunshine at the zoo with temperatures in the mid-70’s, and today when I asked Siri about the temperature outside, first she shivered, then she informed me that it’s 22 degrees Fahrenheit.

This was exactly what we had always wanted. We had our dream home, in a beautiful, quiet neighbourhood, and when the summer foliage at it’s fullest all visibility is cut off from the homes around us. We can enjoy the privacy of our back yard without worrying about nosy neighbours. It’s like our own private getaway. Read More...
