THE BANANA LADY
* note: The following is a true story, with the real-life names of people involved changed. * The year was 2011. I had just gotten my license & became street legal. Though able to drive, I was still very young & nervous about being responsible for other peoples' safety in my car.

An Ode to the People
I love my job because it shaped who I am today. Is my answer too cliché? Yeah, I think so too. To be honest, I’m quite fed up with my job. But when you look at the big picture, I’ve quit and got re-hired twice… so that says a lot (both about me and about the workplace).

37 Lessons From Last Year Alone...
1984. That’s a good ye… (Takes sip of...water; spit take). "I'm old." Anyway, I guess that you're never too old for another year to teach you some new things (and what better time to set a new calendar year than on your birthdate?)

I was late. Now, there is a slight chance you might think that I am usually early. No, you are wrong. I am always this late. It’s not anybody’s fault, though. It’s just, I am someone who strictly follows four meals a day, and I am not ready to lose that, just for the sake of playing football.

There is a new Blue-Ray release of the beloved Disney classic "Mary Poppins." Here is a special deleted scene. Mary Poppins and good-natured chimneysweep Burt, along with the Banks children: Jane and Michael, are taking a stroll in a colorful, whimsical garden.

The Olden Times #1
In the olden times … There was no iced coffee at the drive-thru. Coffee was served two ways: hot and damn hot. There was cream, straight from the teat, nothing non-dairy, and sugar. The only sugar alternative was Sweet and Low. Keep the "low" part in mind because at first, you got the sweet, which was the high, but then you got the bitter, which was the low.

The Olden Times #3
In the olden times ... There were only two kinds of food that could be delivered: pizza and Chinese food. The Chinese food places that delivered were as unreliable as the consistency of the food they delivered. One week, the Pho Han Palace would deliver, the next week they would deny ever having delivered food in the entire history of human existence. The only guarantee you got was that your Dim Sum would be delivered by a guy on a motor scooter. And that motor scooter sounded like an atomic bomb detonating in the atmosphere as it pulled up out front. The guy didn't even have to ring the doorbell. You would be alerted by his bombastic engine and the fumes he was venting.

The Olden Times #2
In the olden times ... Reinventing yourself was hard work. You couldn't jump on Facebook and fabricate stories about yourself. There was no Instagram where you could show off your fabulous life - no cheap champagne in an expensive bottle on a rented yacht in the part of South Florida that vaguely resembles a tropical paradise. We would never be royals, and we knew it because we were from the suburbs. We didn't have ways of documenting our lives anyway. Sure, there were Polaroid cameras, but every pic you took on a Polaroid looked like it should be attached to your ransom note. There were film cameras, of course, but you had to take 52 shots before you could take the film out, or you'd ruin the whole damn roll. And hey, when you did reach the end of the roll, you'd drop it off at a weird little kiosk in a grocery store parking lot and pray that the stoned kid working there didn't lose your film roll or screw up the process altogether. Sometimes your pictures would end up with a ghost thumb in them, and you'd wonder if this was the product of supernatural forces. Nah, it was just a blur or a glitch in the development. There was your ghost, Scooby-Doo.
