There was once a great actor, who had a problem. He could no longer remember his lines.  Finally, after many years, he finds a theater where they are prepared to give him a chance to shine again. The director says, "This is the most important part, and it has only one line You must walk onto the stage carrying a rose, you must hold the rose between your finger and your thumb, bring it to your nose, sniff the rose deeply, and then say the line: Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress."  

The actor is thrilled to get the part. All day long, he’s practicing his line, over and over again. Finally, the time came. As the curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, and with great passion, he delivered the line...   "Ah, the sweet aroma of my mistress".  

The audience screamed with laughter - and the director was steaming!...   "You bloody fool!" he cried, "You have ruined me!"  

The actor, quite bewildered, asked, "What happened, did I forget my line?"  

"No!" the director screamed...   "You forgot the rose!"


See you tomorrow!!

Our Tenth Year of Publishing the WNTS Digest 🕙

Memory Lane

WNTS Digest - 10th Anniversary

I started writing The Digest in the third quarter of 2015. I was filling in as temporary General Manager until we could find a permanent one to take over the leadership of the store. I had some time on my hands and was kicking around how to fill it when I remembered an idea I saw in a hotel in Winslow, Az. called La Posada. In the lobby, they had a chalk board and on it was some simple trivia that happened on that day as well as the weather forecast of sunny, hot, cold rainy or whatever the day was going to bring. I stole some of those ideas and came up with the WNTS Digest. As I was temporarily living at the time in Why, I would spend some time each morning putting together those trivia facts, weather, a cute Pet Picture of the Day from Freekibble.com and an ad hoc picture of something I talked about in the Digest. I would then print the two pages out and tack it to our Bulletin Board in front of the store. The two pictures to the left are from a copy of the Digest that was published in or around February 2016. Eventually we found a permanent GM and I went back to my home in Northern California. A few months later, I was asked to stand up a website for the store and because I didn’t need to be at the site, I was able to do my work in California. When designing the site, I wanted to incorporate the concepts of The Digest. It had paused publication when I moved and here was an opportunity to bring it back in electronic form.  

WNTS Digest - 10th Anniversary Continued

So, over the years, I made a few changes to the format, but it is still has the basic constructs I started out with. The ‘Weather’ report was discontinued due to not having a viable good option for displaying current conditions and forecast. Perhaps that will change and the weather will be put back in. If it is, it would be better on the home page and not The Digest. But, we kept Today in History, Born on this Day, Today is (national quirky holidays), moved Pet Picture of the Day to its’ own page, which later became a contest for Pet of the Month. The static graphic that referenced something in The Digest became “Why Nutts!!” and transitioned into a YouTube related video to something I referenced in The Digest. We added a ‘Quote of the Day’ but transitioned that into ‘Joke of the Day’.

And that is how we got here and looking for the next ten years!!
