We have a 14 month old daughter that plays on the floor all the time. It was very important to us to keep the carpets as clean as possible for her. (Ironically she is also the one who get them dirty!…haha) We typically have had a carpet clean company come in and clean our carpets once a year. We realized it was really only some of the traffic areas and occasional spots that needed cleaned and it was a waste to pay to have all the carpets cleaned every year. We bought the Hoover SteamVac to clean up the occasional spill here and there and to help keep the main living areas cleaner for our daughter. All I can say is…WOW! We chose the SteamVac because it had countless great reviews from other users and it was highly rated by Consumer Reports. I was completely impressed with the results of this unit. We had some grease spots by our door leading to the garage and the machine got it out with no problems. I cleaned other areas of the house too that didn’t really look dirty, but the water was almost black when I poured it out. Vacuuming the carpets before you use the Hoover SteamVac to clean them, seemed to get the best results in cleaning the carpets. While it would be possible to use this to clean all your carpets, you would have to refill the tank several times. I found the tank held about enough water to clean one 10×10 room. All-in-all, this is a great carpet cleaner and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

It was a once in a lifetime opportunity: a chance to see barbra live in a small jazz club in New York City. I directed this short video and won. Hope you enjoy. P.S. It was an incredible night. Barbra was amazing.

Story Overview

Jacob Jankowski is 90–or possibly 93. He’s not really sure.

“When you’re five, you know your age down to the month. Even in your twenties you know how old you are. I’m twenty-three, you say, or maybe twenty-seven. But then in your thirties something strange starts to happen. It’s a mere hiccup at first, an instant of hesitation. How old are you? Oh, I’m–you start confidently, but then you stop. You were going to say thirty-three, but you’re not. You’re thirty-five. And then you’re bothered, because you wonder if this is the beginning of the end. It is, of course, but it’s decades before you admit it.”

Jacob lives in a nursing home–a bit of a grumpy old man but he does OK overall. He likes to give the nurses a hard time every so often. He resents having to eat Jell-O and the other soft food they try to pass off in the dining room. But his mind is drifting a bit; sometimes he finds himself in vivid dreams–and wakes to find himself unsure of where he is and why he is there. And when a circus sets up shop near the nursing home, Jacob’s mind begins to wander more–back to when he was a young man of twenty-three. Back when he knew exactly how old he was. Back when his life lay before him like a blank canvas.

He was studying to be a veterinarian. Unbeknownst to Jacob, his parents had mortgaged themselves to the hilt to put him through vet school. The idea was for Jacob to return home and join his father in the family practice–E. Janokowski and Son, Doctors of Veterinary Medicine. But on the brink of graduation, Jacob is called out of class. His parents have been killed in a car accident. He’s alone in the world. He returns home to bury his parents and finds that his legacy–the vet practice–is gone. It is the Great Depression and like others, his parents had fallen on hard times and there is nothing left–the bank claims it all.

Although Jacob returns to school to sit for his final exam, he walks out without completing it, follows a road down to
