Canny Opener

Went to a wonderful year end concert at the school that my brother's children go to. As we filed out of the gym, a teenage boy was holding the door for everybody. I said to him: "Looks like you've got yourself a new job." "Yes", he replied, "And there's plenty of openings."

A Cautionary Tale

While walking down the street the other day, I looked up at a
tree and in its branches was a long strip of plastic yellow tape with the word "caution" repeated in black lettering.
I thought to myself, "Hmm, someone has thrown caution to the wind."

A Juniors Moment

Looking out the window at the street, feeling the weight of the sudden arrival of Winter's cold. A white cube van drives by. On the side of the van
the word "SMILE" has been spelled out in graffiti. The "author" of the graffiti leaves the "tag" "JR."

JR. gets his message across; I start to smile.

Thank you JR. wherever you are.

Home Is Where The Art Is.

News Item: Absenteeism is up in Home-Based businesses.

I wanted a homebased business, but I didn't pass the three month probationary period.
