In 1995, I got my first job after college from a "help wanted" ad posted in a newspaper's classified ads. (Remember those?) The headline on the ad said they were looking for an "aspiring journalist" to serve as assistant to the newspaper's executive editor. At the time, I didn't know if I was aspiring to be a journalist, but I was aspiring to pay rent and buy food. I was aspiring to put my newly earned English degree to good use.

How have so many years passed? Wasn't it just yesterday I lived on the farm with my parents and four siblings? That big house was cold in the winter, and hot in the summer. Neither climate change bothered us. We bundled up in the winter, and ate ice cream and cold watermelon out of the spring when it was summer.

While watching Law and Order, I saw a little girl playing hopscotch. I couldn't remember ever playing that sidewalk game. So I posted on Facebook, "I don't remember playing hopscotch. But did we play it?"

I've been asked more than once how I come up with my stories. This one is the result of a Facebook post about the amount of money you would have if you put a penny a day into a big glass bottle: $36,500 or some such huge amount. Really. I believe someone had their math a bit off, don't you think? Anyway, the bottle looked very similar to the ones Terry got when he worked at Litton.
