I worked in an egg processing plant while in college working my way up to baby chick inoculator. Also, I worked in a hardware store and with a construction company. And, I sold shoes at JC Penney’s while in seminary.
Favorite donuts:
For what it’s worth – a week old, sitting out of the box on the counter, Krispy Kreme donut is far better than a fresh, right out of the fryer, Dunkin’ Donut
