Microminutiae of a Typical Weekend

Bought the wife’s birthday gifts

Watched Murder By Death (something I remembered from my youth)

Balanced the checkbook and paid the bills

Did errands with Patch (post office, dry cleaners, recycling center, library, Blimpie’s)

Watched Barbie and the Magic of Swan Lake with Patch

Watched Killing Lincoln with Little One and the wife

Attended mass where Little One was “commissioned” as an Altar Server!

Went apple pickin’ with the family

Watched The Real George Washington and Saving Ronald Reagan with my little political junkies (and amateur historians)

Put away half of Sun Tzu at Gettysburg and a chapter of An Army at Dawn

Listened to Act I of Gounod’s Faust

Did four loads of laundry, some grocery shopping, checked and helped with homework, fed hungry bellies, supervised showers

Thank God there was no soccer games or practices this weekend!

Pictures and (hopefully) interesting peripheral blog entries to follow this week …
