Friends,<\/p>\n

I’ve taken a break, in case you haven’t noticed, to take care of life. It’s been a tumultuous month or so but you’ll be pleased to know that the tumult is largely over. I’ll get back to that in a little while, but you should know that I took a little trip to Hemet today.<\/p>\n

I had a check to deposit and the closest branch of my bank is in Riverside County’s home of potato farming, Hemet, California. Once I managed to wade through the traffic, the incessant lights and the low-motor skill holders of driving licenses, I rolled up to the parking lot and caught the attention of enough skinhead loiterers that I thought I should head inside.<\/p>\n

Once I was buzzed through the outside doors and the vestibule doors (not entirely unlike this<\/a>, and you know how that<\/em> turned out), I was greeted by a pudgy security guard who insisted on shaking my hand and disco<\/a> playing from the overhead sound system. Friday. Disco<\/a>. The teller at the end motioned me over, “I can help you.”<\/p>\n

Then I noticed the name badge on her teller window. “Excuse me, can I ask you a personal question? Is your name really Shimmy?” “Well, my name is much longer, so most people call me Shimmy.”<\/p>\n

“With the disco<\/a> playing and your name, this may be the most fun bank branch I’ve ever visited.” “Why thank you,” she said. “We try.” <\/p>\n

So if you’re having a bad week, head to the Hemet branch of my bank. They seem to be having a pretty good time.<\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n
