While I do NOT like raw oysters, I do like oyster stew, even though I have only eaten it once. That was in the early 1980s, when I was living in the spare bedroom of an older British couple's house while studying at Villanova University near Philadelphia. They invited me to dinner one night. We enjoyed her homemade oyster stew. It was quite good.

While I have mildly experimented, I always return to tighty-whities (briefs).

I have always worked hard, but I never found the holy grail. I did have many jobs that I loved.
From 1992 to 1996, I was a Reporter, Writer, Editor, and Researcher for an international weekly magazine on the financial and technical aspects of the chemical industry, based in New York City (Manhattan).
From 2002 to 2011, I was an Editor, Proofreader, and Page Designer for the supermarket tabloids, specifically Star, Globe, National Examiner, and National Enquirer magazines, based in Boca Raton, Florida.
From February 2016 to February 2017, I was the Associate Editor (Reporter, Writer, Editor, Photographer, Sometime Photo Editor) for "Retail Environments" and "Insider," the two official monthly magazines of Shop!, which is an international nonprofit association for the manufacturers of components for retail store displays, including mannequins, display cabinets, signage, lighting, shelving, flooring, architecture, etc., based in Hollywood, Florida. The main office is in Chicago.
It sounds like I fabricated those jobs, but l didn't. I mean, I can't even believe that I worked those jobs, but I did. I assure you they are "weird," but they are true; I have lived to tell about them; and I love them the best, in that order.
