Donors sometimes leaves notes with their donations to the thrift store--or sometimes the notes are leftovers on gifts or notes to self.
Considerate notes are some of my favorite things, counterbalancing as they do "donors" who dump their trash on the thrift store.
My Favorite Murder is a popular true-crime comedy podcast.
BELOW: The note with this puzzle:
"This puzzle has all its pieces, but it is frustratingly poorly made. I hope by donating it I can give other My Favorite Murder fans a chance to experience the cool ideaof this puzzle without them needing to pay $50 for it."Puzzle volunteer Abby looked at the pieces and said, "Yeah, these are poorly designed--too many pointy edges--they'd be hard to work with." She priced it $1.99.

I have an unusually busy social schedule coming up--busy for me, that is. I prefer to spread out social engagements, but for various reasons they're close together over the next couple weeks. That's okay, really. (And what I mean by "close together" is more than one a week. LOL)

I just this moment got a text from Big Boss saying we're having a staff meeting (to plan SOPs for shoplifting) on Friday.

I'd told Marz my idea to write movie reviews in sonnet form, and she wants to do it too. In a couple weeks the micro-cinema is showing Point Blank (Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson), which I've never seen but she loves---we're going to see that and write sonnets about it.
At the Rose Garden this past weekend:
