No fooling
Just a few quick notes for those of you who check in regularly. I'm going into hibernation this weekend in the back office, so Ann will be charging $5.63 per minute for anyone who wants to talk with me on Saturday or Sunday.
We have the "Cadillac of single-cup coffee brewers" on an evaluation basis through the weekend as we try to determine whether this is the way to go. Come by and have a free cup of coffee...we have a large assortment, including decaf, and will have herbal and regular teas, too, if we decide to purchase this equipment. Let us know what you would pay for a fresh cup and how important that would be to you, too.
The second installment of Pat Holt's story about the making of the movie based on her partner's book/memoir of childhood, "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio," came in this morning and it reminded me of my Dad.
"Tuff's" mom, the eponymous prize winner, had a special talent for spotting four-leaf clovers, Once on a family drive, she remarked that there was a beautiful specimen in the field they just passed. Unbelieving, Tuff's dad circled the block and challenged her. Walking deep into the field, she returned with the talisman.
My Dad has much the same talent. He could sit on our porch and point 20, 30, 40 feet away to a four-leaf clover, year after year, and amazed us all. Dad's living in a hotel right now after a house fire, and going a little stir-crazy waiting for contractors to get to work, so remember him in your prayers this weekend.
Oh, yeah. We have the book in-store, so come on down and talk to Ann about joining our new fiction book discussion group. And it's still not too late to join the Shredders, who've decided to meet here at the store on Monday nights, 7 p.m. The next meeting is May 9.
If you are going to Florida, or just returned, scavenge any Sunshine State kitsch to add to our Serge Storms collage. Serge, Tim Dorsey's outrageous anti-hero, is an ardent collector of all things Floridian (which he keeps in an intricately-compartmented tackle box), so we're building a shrine to our favorite fictional character.
Twizzle sticks, NASA patches, coasters, matchbooks, alligator keychains...anything you would like to add will be welcomed.
