News

We had a unsuccessful hit-and-run in the parking lot--we prevented him from leaving.

A customer had an apparent stroke (or diabetic event--we don't know) in the store. Emergency was called, and we assume she is OK. I was a little afraid the woman was going to die on me, but even though she was in some distress, it did not appear life-threatening. But, I am not a health care pro.

For the still alive woman, Johnny X and Brian Hood:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

2010-Feb-05: update: Cathy (the customer) was in the store yesterday, and is doing fine.

The Two Princesses and the Groomsman

A Fairy Tale
Any resemblence to real life people is strict coincidence.

There once were two princesses: there names were Princess Sin and Princess Soak. They endeavored to run the palace as best they could but there was one problem: they constantly picked on a handsome groomsman called Everyman. This harassment puzzled Every, because he was having trouble understanding why they would do this.

He knew Princess Sin had recently emerged from a bad relationship, and he suspected (but he didn't know) she confused him with the person she was trying to break up with. Princess Soak, on the other hand, probably had not been in a relationship in a number of years, and had a weight problem. None of this had anything to do with the groomsman, but he was increasingly convinced that this is what occasionally drove the two ladies.
