(This is a continuation of my previous post of the same title which can be found here in case you missed it.) (This is us with Jack Hanna! In case you don’t know who he is, I included a brief description of him in my previous blog post about the show!) Before we went into

Well.. last night’s opening night performance of The Hound of the Baskervilles was quite a success. What began with reservations numbering 17 turned into a crowd of over 70 before curtain time.

What can happen in just one weekend in the populous metropolitan Chicago area? Check this photo out: As if that first picture didn’t say enough, the second picture shows that people are still filing down the ramp in the center! What is this guy on you may ask? Well, two weekends ago (yeah, I’m a
All three in that order. My five hour shift went fine… UNTIL… four o’clock came and the only other employee in the store was due to be off and the next one did not come in until 5. So, my work completed or not, I had to be up front and mind the store by
