Sam (not his name) works at the local oil change franchise. He’s been there a long time. My wife started going there in 1992 when she moved to Overland Park, KS and Sam was there then. Sam is a hero to me.



Sam works three jobs. He works full time days at the oil change place, nights at the Post Office and on weekends at a local BBQ franchise. Today I went in for an oil change and for the first time I saw Sam sitting. He told me that business was really slow and that they were just… Continue

Isn't it cool when you do something silly that turns out to be great? I wasn't paying attention this week to all my emails from my MeetUp groups, and missed one that changed the location of my once a month Jelly Freelancers Hangout group from Oak Street Coffee House in Brookside to Napoleons Bakery in Westport.
