Father's Day

With 4 children this is always a special day. Memories of the homemade cards and breakfast in bed mixed with the present day Stanley Cup Champions Bruins hat and shirt, Titleist golf balls, dinner at my favorite pub and then the framed picture of two young daughters fishing with my Dad...

I make a terrible customer....it was Thanksgiving day afternoon and the phone is out, internet too. A couple minutes in the basement and the cable is caput. House full of company and there's no football, the phone is taking messages and the only link to the outside world is a weak wireless signal...

I like the photo of the paper plate with the note on it. How old is that? Takes me back to when my kids were teenagers, there were many notes left on paper paper plates and anything else that was handy. We finally put a note board on the wall by the phone for the convenience of everyone.

I noted two years ago in this forum that another round of store closings was inevitable, but Die-Hard (get it?) Sears fans dismissed my observation. I specifically noted that the Sears in Anitoch, TN (nearest my house) was sure to be closed. Sears issued a list today which showed the first 80 stores that will be closed in the their next round of liquidations. On the store closing list is the Sears store in what's left of the Antioch mall in Nashville, TN. The store is one of the most dilapidated, sorry excuses for a department store you'll ever see. The air-conditioning doesn't even work in the summer, but the manager thought he could save money by turning the temp up to 85 degrees to save some cost. In the process, no one wanted to sweat while they shopped, so people stayed away in droves. Sears deserves what has happened to it. Many of the associates are in "De-Nile," which is not just a river in Egypt. They've had their hours cut back to 20, they see stores closing all around them, but they keep saying, "Sears is about to make a comeback!" Some people are incapable of seeing the handwriting on the wall, but we'll all have to pay for it with higher taxes when these people all end up in the unemployment line.
