I bought Henny Youngman's car ~ "Take my car please"

I received pressure last night to post more. Thanks Ann! I do love Ann/Ben puzzles. They are kind individuals who reciprocate clicks for your puzzle answers. When I last visited everyone, I was involved in becoming a court recorder. I spent all 450 miles on my drive home to think it over. I decided... Sign in to see full entry.

Barney Fife alive in Minnesota

For those of us who are keeping score, I guess my post is boring. I did train for a week in St. Paul, MN as a court reporter. I drove north, viewing the farms of Iowa, hoping to see Radar from M*A*S*H. I did not meet him, but I did meet several interesting people. The people of Minnesota were... Sign in to see full entry.

I Throw Myself On The Mercy of The Court

I spent my first OJT (On The Job Training) in Minneapolis-St. Paul. I drove up Sunday and I must say Iowa is pretty boring. I did pass an electric wind farm. The sight of hundreds of electric wind turbines is very impressive. I strongly advocate this method of generating power. As I crossed into... Sign in to see full entry.

Decisions Decisions : What to do?

I drove up to Minneapolis - St. Paul MN. last Sunday. The last 100 miles was like I was under the same thunder storm. The hard rain folowed me all the way to the motel. I brought enough clothes to last the week, but I do not have the female gene for packing. I forgot several things that would have... Sign in to see full entry.

BIG MONEY ROLLS IN.

This morning two of my neighbors were having a garage sale. I had given my neighbor a bird house to sell. She just called and said "come on over and get your dollar". I just made more money, without doing anything, than I have on Blogit in the last 6 months. I should frame this dollar. It is the... Sign in to see full entry.

CYPRESS Joins the work force

It is exactly two months since I retired. Well Uncle Sam will now get more tax dollars. They called this morning and offered me the job. How great is this! My boss works out of Austin, TX. There will be very little supervision. My job will be in State and Federal courts, audio taping various trials.... Sign in to see full entry.

1ST Job Interview

Well hear I sit checking my emails. I had my job interview yesterday, and I believe it went well. The major shock of the day was the fact my new potential boss was really a female. The whole process had been done with emails, and she has one of those gender-overlapping names. I guess her dad wanted... Sign in to see full entry.

Next week marks my 2 nd month anniversary for being retired. Well people guess who is bored? It took my body over a week to stop waking up at 5 am. I now sleep later, and all those errands I use to do after work are done by noon. I devote three days a week to my mother. She keeps me busy with doctor... Sign in to see full entry.
