Solemn Note

Tony, a life long New Yorker, normally played at a downtown basement jazz club. He thought while he was waiting for the pumps to clear the club, he would come up here to the Cloisters and practice, but all that would come out was a solemn note.  . . . .  David, Sf.G.

The Door

After getting her degree and then her masters in finance at the university of Phoenix (on line), Angelica  had found that unless someone could open doors for her, getting a good job was difficult if not impossible.  And then the text had come to her iPhone giving her an address and telling her don’t knock, just open the door and come in for an interview.  While eager for the job, there was something just a little ominous about the door; would there be health insurance with a dental plan?. . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Better Than a Chevy Volt

While touring China, the President saw what he thought of as an excellent alternative to big gas guzzling campers. It was cheaper to run than a Chevy Volt–in fact, it could be run on beans and cabbage for the pedaler.  It sounded like a dream come true, the best of all worlds including exercise for the operator, until someone on staff pointed out the methane issue from the “processed” cabbage and beans that could cause global warming. . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Bladder Control

Henry’s mother had been so proud of her son! He hadn’t wet his pants for a long time; then she realized it was not a bladder control issue, it was just that he never wore them . . . . .  David, Sf.G.

New Markets

Home Depot was expanding and trying to open new markets, particularly in Asia, and while trying to respect local customs and traditions, was having a little trouble  in product mix and merchandise presentation. . . .  David, Sf.G.
