Kerry is a slightly demented old man who observes life in a quirky way. Having long ago lost his ability to filter his speech in any way, it's not uncommon for him to say things that are inappropriate. Unfortunately for those people who cross his path, Kerry is unable to allow strangers to pass without talking to them. While his comments don't surprise friends they can sometimes startle strangers. Fortunately, Kerry lives with the love of his life and straight laced husband of over 40 years, Ed. They live a surprisingly happy life together in Dallas, TX. All of the stories that are included here are actual occurrences. Because of Kerry's slight dementia and his love for double entendre/innuendo it can be assumed that a liberal dose of artistic license is included in his writings. The one exception are the stories that are in the category "Senior Stripper". The stripper in these stories is Kerry's alter ego, "The Longest Day", Kerry himself. Kerry and Ed met in the USAF and have been together ever since. The two of them have had a variety of careers and lived in a variety of places. They have a son and daughter-in-law in rural Indiana who they are very proud of and who complement their lives. One of the pleasures Ed and Kerry have pursued over the years has been travelling the world. They have visited multiple locations on six of the seven continents.
Miss Emmalyn is a regal woman I had the honor of knowing at my previous retail gig. She was working for the company before most of the younger employees were born.

This week at my retail gig I had a young man come up to my counter asking if I could ring up his purchases even though he didn’t have shoes. I explained that, because of my advanced age, there is very little I couldn’t do. I rang up his purchases which included some socks, a … More A Happy Customer

Once, returning from my break at my retail gig, I was surprised to see two women from another area standing at my cash register. They were chatting quietly and giggling.

A couple of years ago I did extensive research on how to conceal hair loss for my very good friend Esteban. When I met Esteban he worked at my retail gig and was in his mid-thirties. I had gotten to know him quite well because he used to frequently abandon his post to shop in … More Esteban
There is a buddy at work that I generally advise when we have clearance shoes I think might be of interest to him. For the purpose of anonymity, I’ll simply call him the “Gay Giant”. We both think of ourselves as snappy dressers: however, our individual styles are very, very different. We also have more … More Suede Shoes
I had a customer at my retail gig yesterday that was a joy to work with. Usually I don’t include the race, ethnicity or religion of any of the folks I talk about because it’s not relevant. However, in this case it is a relevant fact. A young thin Black man approached me for help … More Dressing for Work
Although my retail gig was in Men’s Shoes, Men’s Underwear was right next door. We often helped underwear customers with their purchases.
