Without wearing makeup and her hair undone, no other woman anywhere, could look better than Janet Morrow did in an old sweater, leggings and a pair of boots on our Saturday morning trip to the supermarket. I’m a very lucky guy.

A close runner-up was watching Jim Simmons, the store’s director and a very busy guy, go out of his way to help a customer find an item.- Could there be a better day than the Saturday before Super Bowl Sunday to own a grocery store — especially when the local forecast calls for up to 10 inches of snow and wind gusts of up to 40 mph in the next 48 hours. Hy-Vee was the place to be this morning in Muscatine.

Could be worse. My doctor’s name is Kierein.
