Remember when I told you people really only want to read about me being an idiot? There is no better example of this than what happened four years ago tomorrow.
It was September 12, 2019, when I took what could only be termed an ill-fated trip to BJ's Wholesale Club in Willoughby, Ohio. I had never been to the store by myself, as Terry owned our family membership and was always the one to shop there.
That is, until she got sick and sent me. I chronicled my experience through a Facebook post and a series of associated comments, and it remains one of the most heavily engaged FB items I've ever written. People couldn't get enough of me bumbling through the store trying desperately to find the items on Terry's list.
It was recently pointed out by longtime readers Pam Andrykovitch and Maria Telisman that the BJs misadventure really should have been included in my book. The only reason it wasn't was because I had never actually talked about it here in the blog, so it never came up for consideration when I was selecting posts for the book.
Clearly, though, it's a story that should be recorded for posterity in blog format. What follows is an account of that memorable trip as told through a series of Facebook screen shots. I hope the text is legible and that you will still hold me in somewhat high regard after reading it.
