Had a ball yesterday. [View all]

An 80 year old man and his wife ask me to come over and help them downsize as they wanted to move to a smaller house. What a great fun couple they were. We went through 4 floors of stuff and I spent about a grand. His only complaint was that I didn't even put a dent in it. Even had his big strapping grandson haul a very big primitive cabinet up from the basement and load it in my van for me.

The best part, when were sitting down to a cup of coffee, was when he said to me "I don't know what your politics are, but I'm a democrat". I smiled and said me too. He then went on to talk about the Koch brothers and the new healthcare law.
