The "Easter Bunny" is coming to Marco's!  Stop by the store on Thursday, March 28 (I haven't heard specific times, but I suspect that between 10:00 & 2:00 will work nicely) and you can get a picture with our resident chameleon.  In previous...

With thanks to Robin Arnold, who forwarded this to me after my earlier grumblings about the weather . . .

Back at work today after a “Jekyll and Hyde” weekend – at least from a weather perspective.  There is one constant about living in Ohio – if you don’t like the weather today, it will be different tomorrow.  And if your weather weasels are anything like ours,...

I have so many stories to tell, and Blake and I have only been here two days.  One of the best is how we got here in the first place – we escaped Ohio in the middle of a snowstorm that cancelled flights all of the Midwest.  But all of those will wait until...

We have been having Free Make & Takes in our store on Wednesday and Saturday mornings for several years.  They are all popular (could be that “free” thing), but some more so than others.  Yesterday was one of those days – nearly 100 people showed up on a...

I realize that I have no reason to complain – it’s 35 degrees and pouring rain here today, and some of you in the middle of the country just got buried in snow again.  But I’m ready . . . Apparently, so is Mother Nature – I took this shot in my side yard a week...

I had heard raves about Pat Huntoon from Technique Junkies Newsletter for several years – finally met her in person at last October’s show in York, PA.  But I had never had a chance to really talk with her until our booths were side-by-side at the show in...

This story started a year ago – February 3, 2012.  I had spent the day setting up our booth at the show in Lawrenceville, GA and was doing computer work about 10:00 p.m. in my hotel room, when I got a text from Ryan that simply said “I’m talking with a...

Now that I am safely back in Ohio and my frozen fingers are cracking again, last weekend in Florida is just a warm (pun intended) memory with a few images worth sharing. After the Atlanta show, we tore down the booth and I climbed into the truck just a minute or two...

I am simply amazed by modern technology – when I write a blog piece, it goes out to most of you by e-mail about 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time.  So even though I wrote the piece about our tomcat on Friday evening, it went out on Saturday while I was running my cash...
