Writing Wrandomly

The blog’s new Casa Stana masthead is a big hit. Paula suggested it in passing (or in jest) and I pounced on the idea. (The name is in honor of Casa Susanna.)

Returns

Returning stuff to Amazon that doesn’t fit or you just plain don’t like is easy. Just print out the QR code or have it on your smart phone and take the ugly dress to a place like a UPS Store to return it. No more having to package up the dress, print out return documentation, print out and stick on a mailing label and then send it back via USPS or UPS.

I just discovered that easy returns are also available from other sellers. I bought a sweater dress from Venus and it was too big, so when I began the return process, I found that Venus offers a similar return service as Amazon. Just get the QR code and take the dress to a place like a UPS Store. And voila!

T-Week

This week is Transweek. Formerly known as Fantasia Fair, I had no idea that it was this week until JJ asked me and I looked it up.

I attended the “Fair” four times. Last time was 10 years ago. I always had a good time. Each visit was a unique and memorable experience. Read my book to read all about my four Fair trips.

The only negatives about the Fair was the weather and the civilians. 

The weather can be all over the place in late October in this neck of the woods and since the Fair has stuff going on all over Provincetown, you have to do a lot of hoofing to get around in whatever Mother Nature has to offer. (I’ll never forget running down Commercial Street wearing 4-inch stilettos in a thunderstorm!)

The local civilians are used to us and don’t give a damn, but the civilians tourists gawk and even point at us. But I found a surefire way to disarm them. One time, a group of my girl friends had reservations to dine at Lobster Pot. When we entered the dining room, some folks at a nearby table got all excited and began gawking and pointing. In response, I smiled and waved at them and that shut them down immediately.

And so it goes!
