McCarthyism
The McCarthys in Wilkes-Barre are sorta like the Olsens in Walnut Grove - they own everything from the flower shop to the auto dealership. There's something Chrisafer isn't telling us. I think he's rich like Nellie Olsen.
So I'm out to my coworkers and I've only been working with this company for three weeks. It helps that my boss is a Sister, but also that one coworker on our road trip is 19, and to those kids it's not an issue. The other coworker's landlord is a 17th St. Gurl and his roomate is gay too. He's also admitted to having gone to Wet. So when I revealed my gurlhood to them there was like no reaction at all. No flinching, no blushing, no stammering or apologies. How cool is that? We all got buzzed on saki at a very good Japanese restraunt before going to work.
My odd shift forces us to be working during the hours when most people have fun, but I might try to coerce my coworker to go to the local 'mo bar, apparently called Twists. Mapquest says it's three miles from my hotel.
Yesterday I worked out in the hotel's 'fitness center' - a tiny room with a lightweight treadmill and a stairmaster that does more damage to you than it helps. Urgh...must work out!
I think when I catch up on rest and a normal human schedule I may be inspired to write a heavy entry, but I've been uninspired for a week. For thoughtful, insightful, clear writing please go here for the next week or so.

If only it were true. I'm no Nellie Olsen. I'm way more Laura--especially if I get that hunk Almanzo.
I need to find out more about these wealthy relatives of which you speak.
