• Retail Life Episode 15

                    Here come the holidays.                 We’ve got back to school coming down and Halloween going up. But aside from that, I have the fall décor set up near the back of the store, I have lawn and garden still out for another two weeks, and I’ve begun to get Christmas toys and housewares. And…

    In the spirit of this week’s blog post, here’s some music I like to listen to while reading

  • August Reads

                    I really pushed the line this month on getting my four books read. One of the books took too long to read and I had to finish up during the last week. But I still managed it, so that’s something. The Four Before Me by E. H. Night                 I was intrigued from the…

  • Just a Thought

                    The other day I had a thought…                 When do we stop being fearless?                 As a child I remember climbing the tree in my front yard as high as the branches would hold me. I was way up high, even with the second-floor windows of our house. Even though I was super afraid…

    Ghost Story #2

                    The building was old, that much was clear. The front lobby might have been redone to give the impression it was still a strong structure, but the bones were deteriorating. The old gym, attached to the back, hadn’t been worked on in over fifty years. There were holes in the bleachers, the old-fashioned lights…

  • Retail Life Episode 14

                    Sometimes I just don’t know how people rationalize their behavior. I thought we were supposed to stop throwing tantrums when we were children. And yet, working in retail, I’ve seen grown adults throw a fit. I’ve seen senior citizens basically stomp their feet because they didn’t get their way. I just don’t get it.…

  • July Reads

                    Wow, July seemed to fly by. But I still managed to do my reading, coming in right under the wire again like last month. This time wasn’t due to procrastination or being busy, however, it just came down to the length of two of the books I decided to read. One of which was…

    Ghost Stories #1

    The Elementary School                 They said the school was built on a cemetery. Not something we were eager to believe, but we couldn’t deny the strange things that happened.                 For starters, there was the cat. No one knew where it came from, or how it had gotten inside, but everyone had seen it. It…
