THANK YOU

Phil and I would like to thank everyone who came out to our story telling show last night. We had an excellent crowd who were warm and responsive. We are pleased to report that we raised in excess of $5,000 for charity. It is not a huge sum of money these days but it will help to buy food for those who need it. So that’s it. You won’t have to listen to me go on and on about this anymore.

I do have several new stories in the works. Tomorrow’s offering is about chance encounters. You know what it’s like when you bump into someone in the most unusual of places, like an airport in some far off country or at the end of a hiking trail in the middle of nowhere. A meeting at the liquor store doesn’t quite qualify. I won’t spoil this by saying anything else . Coming tomorrow , “Johnny on the Pot.”

Another story I’m working on is about the old Goodman store here in Antigonish. Yes, it’s a local story but I suspect that just about every small town in North America had, at one time or another, a department store just like Goodmans. I got to thinking about this the other day after purchasing a new ipad mini with “square” technology. This will allow me to take your hard earned money out of your pocket when my book goes on sale. I will be able to accept credit card payment even if I meet you deep in the forest. I thought about how much technology has changed and harkened back to when Goodmans used to process payments with an elaborate in store system of tubes and vacuums. You need to be pretty old ( my age ) to remember this. The story is called ” The Shape of Business.”

Have a great weekend.
