This is new for me. Usually I’m at the shop on a Monday morning but today I work the later closing shift as my 2 staff members are on a road trip. I’ve updated the art walk blog, tweeked the movie blog and checked my email.
Today I had an interesting email from a student at one of the local schools. One of his friends decided to ‘create’ his very own punch card and pass it off for free beverages.
