Who has the time to watch that much video? I just worked through the 99PI “Power Broker” recap podcasts this fall while walking to and from work. Probably twenty hours’ worth. (Fascinating and delightful, but ya gotta read the book first, a journey in and of itself.)

The microwave is blinking, but the maid’s already gone?

Patience. Try to pick out the “amateur shoppers” who only go out to {Costco, Target, the grocery store, etc.} once a year, and avoid them.

In related news, Costco has sliding drawers for cabinets that are high quality and a reasonable price. We just installed eight of them in the kitchen - a game changer!

Worked in a movie theater in high school. My boss and I were the first people in our town to see “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Amazing movie, it was a VERY busy summer. Our theater didn’t usually get the BIG movies, the United Artists theater in the big mall did.
