As far as I know, I have never ever mentioned the name of my place of employment on my blog. I do talk about it quite openly. So openly that I think most of you have figured out where I work. One of the reasons I don't talk about it is because I know that there are people in my regional offices that monitor blogs that refer to my company. And, yes, I am one of the blogs they monitor. I know for a fact that they do. Especially since I work there. I think it's funny that they do. And, frankly, I don't care that they do. Feel free to do so.

Yet, I don't mention their name because I think it is just fair. Whether I am talking about them favorably or not, I just would rather not name them. I have no reason to shine negative light upon them. Nor do I have reason to shine a positive one either. But this may all change.

We are about to open our newest store. As part of our commitment to supporting the community we do business in, we are throwing an Almost Open Party. The proceeds for this party benefits a local charity called Riverkeeper. Below is the link that will give you more information on the entire event. I'll leave it up to you readers to decide if you want to attend. But to sweeten the pot, know that I will be working that event. Most likely in a chef's coat. Serving food. And generally being congenial. I'm scared.

Cut and paste as you need. Maybe I'll see you there. Maybe some of you anonymous people will stop by and say hey. Maybe. Later.  ¶ 11:46 PM
