It's good to be back at work. Today a colourful old man came in who I hadn't seen for quite some time. As he was paying, he mentioned that he was part of Rod's "Ten Per Cent Discount Club. But you can give me more off than that, you know, since he isn't here or anything. And it's perfect, because confession is every second Saturday." We shared a chortle. As he passed me his bank card to pay for the books, he said to his friend, "This is my vice, you see. Some people drink, some people smoke. You know. But what the hell." He laughed again. "Don't you feel guilty at all for being the one doing this to me?" he said, to me. "Oh no." I passed him his books. "I go to confession every second Saturday."
