Selling Quick Job
Fresh out of school, I hadn’t gotten a scholarship and my parents couldn’t afford to put me through college, but I knew I wanted to travel. I looked for jobs that included travel, but there wasn’t much out there for high school graduates with no particular job skill.

The Witch (Circa 1966)
When I was a kid, one of the joys of my young life was coming home from school on a Friday night, knowing that if I had good marks in all my classes, I could stay up late and watch my two favorite shows. My first favorite was, hands down, Start Trek, but after it went off, there was a local show that I loved to watch, called "Shock Theater". You could find the title of the movie they were showing that night in the tv guide, so I had my nose in that magazine on Monday mornings, planning my weekend ahead.

Early Christmas Decorating
I kicked off the holiday season (October 31st), with Covid-19 and Strep Throat. Excessive sinus issues had me on the couch, half sitting-half reclining just to sleep. One night, I was so weak and bereft of sleep that I wept non-stop thinking I would be dead before morning.
