Moonwalking

One of the best parts of being back home is, as I have said before, the people I get to see.  This week I got to see my Jr. English teacher, Mrs. F.  She was a hoot, and despite being a fairly tough teacher, she made us laugh, and we had a good time in her class.  She rolled along with the antics of 16/17 year olds with relative ease, and she sure knew how to shut me up when my constant commentary hit the level of totally obnoxious.  It was great fun to visit with her.  While Mr.s F was in, Owner encouraged her to read this blog.  Subsequently, I encouraged Mrs. F to keep her red pen out of reach when reading; I wouldn't want her to mess up her monitor. 

 

I have often thought of Mrs. F through the years when writing.  She stressed to us the importance of word choice, or "WC" as she referred to it.  Countless times I saw on my graded papers a red circle or slash with "WC" out to the side.  I don't know that I have ever truly been adept at "WC", but I do try.  Ok, sometimes I try.  Regardless, "WC" has always been funny to me.  "WC", water closet, toilet and from there, I'll spare you.  I think my adolescent humor is best shared between other adolescent 40 year old boys. 

 

Today, The Frame Shop & Gallery took one small step, but it is a giant leap for Ownerkind.  We began the process of implementing a Point of Sale system, Lifesaver, that will provide us the ability to process sales, institute an inventory control system, and place orders with our suppliers!  Replacing a system that has been used for 33 years is no small feat, but we are going to move forward undaunted by the enormity task at hand.  This is the dawning of the age of Lifesaver at The Frame Shop & Gallery, and I am happy to be part of the sunrise.
