Oh busboy, it’s a point to ponder

May 11, 2008

I went to buy shoes. Sandals to be exact. The weather looked promising and my feet were hot …

As I entered the store, I viewed the display in the Mall window. “Um, um and um” I thought. I eyed a pair with red straps and an earthier pair of Birkenstocks wannabes.

Moving in the store, I picked up my choices.

I could feel the smooth straps. I could see the quality of stitching and view the safety design on the soles.

I could smell the new leather.

A very nice saleswoman waited on me. I chose to try on the red straps.

They were just what I wanted and they felt comfortable but they didn’t look just right. I thanked my attendant and left to try another store.

For lunch that day, I went to a lovely French restaurant in the mall.

As I looked into the restaurant window, I did not see any food to buy.

I went in anyway.

Watching ‘Amnesia’ brings back great memories

May 4, 2008

This new reality-type game show reminds me of the time I was involved in an MTV project called “St. Nick’s Flicks.”

As I remember, I was hired as a V-J (video jockey) to help introduce some Christmas films in the late 1980s.
