[...] Cancer Team called Walking 4 2nd Base. Last year all I could do was give her a small donation and blog about her cause. I want to be able to do something [...]

I like Stop & Shop. That is where I shop. I think that Stephen might have gotten you a couple more bucks since he is a blogging dog after all.

Thanks for donating to Sue’s team. It is a great name too. That is really great of you. I am sure she will appreciate it.

I love Sue’s team name, too, but I would, since I’m a huge baseball fan, as you know. When I get paid later this week, I’ll go over and make a donation.

The wife of the Justice of the Peace/innkeeper up in York Beach, ME, who married Mike and me is a breast cancer survivor; she’d had a double mastectomy several years ago. The disease runs in her family. She’s been cancer-free since, thank goodness. Mike and I are still good friends with this couple, and we’ve stayed at their place many, many times over the years. I always make my breast cancer donations in her honor.

I hate Stop & Shop, we don’t shop there anymore. Market Basket has much better prices, but you don’t have them down there, I don’t think. They’re more in northeastern MA and southern NH. I wonder if Shaw’s/Star Market charges that much for milk, I know that the Market Basket we go to doesn’t.

When I used to shop at S&S, I did try the self-checker things…mostly because the employees at that store are rude and surly and I didn’t feel like dealing with them. Stupid scanners didn’t work half the time, and I’d end up having to deal with said surly employees to help me get scanned.

The heck with it. We shop elsewhere. I wrote a letter of complaint, and they sent me a lousy ten buck gift card. I wonder if I could have gotten more if I’d hired Stephen to write a letter for me.

Thanks Dad,
You might laugh a bit when I say I have patience. However there is a difference between a five minute inconvenience at the supermarket vs my other patience trying situations. I will try and work patience on the latter. And get back to the gym too.

I help get them to smile but yes, you are correct, many great smiles.

I can just imagine the things you did at Stop & Shop as a service clerk. It must have been hilarious.
