Today's Horoscope: It will be as though you're in a new and hopeful world today, dear Scorpio. The people you meet will be cordial and caring, and the future will seem like a bright, attractive place to live. In other words, it's like a fabulous dream, and the alarm clock is bound to wake you up soon. True, the glorious feeling won't last long, so take advantage of the day ahead. Reality is sweet at times. -
Well, I did have a not unpleasant (recurrent) dream about working at Pearl Arts, tho I barely recognize the place, don't know what my job is there, & always forget to punch in. Then I woke up. It's been this way ever since bazaar-raja Shaleesh Shah sold his stores, the large book dept. I built dismantled, the art paper section moved, & the whole place spiffed up. About a year ago artist Jim Coleman & I took a quick stroll around the store & I haven't been back since.
If you sold Shah a truckload of horseshit for $100, he'd call it "organic modeling clay" & retail it at $5 per shovel-full. I had a grudging respect for the man, he was so strange, with the worst haircut I ever saw & no interest in art. I couldn't stand his second-in-command, Beverly Aiello.
