Slim Pickings. It Was a Saturday and Without Christmas Tree Shop or Pier One, Open Any More, I Was Talked Into World Market in West Haven

I'm good. I don't have to return any time soon, although I did like the excitement of possibility finding a golden egg near an item that begins with "C". Alas, it was all crap, so fair game, and not one of us found it. I was given a tranquilizer for the journey because Leo bailed out and that meant it was me with all the ladies. I wanted to turn around and go home, but I endured as the man who guided directions. 

I did get clearance rack items: a couple of soup bowls and dish towels, but that was the extent of the adventure. Well, that, and the humor of talk a little, pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more. That was my day, and the cheeping is actually hysterical. They were quite the comedy team. 

It'll be interesting in the future - those of us in the Western world used to our quick road trips to stores having limited selection because soon there will be no stores left. 

Favorite quote of the day...two husbands dragged to the store like me, "This is like a basement of shit we'll never need." 

Yup. 

I did get maple sugar candy, too. Not sure why, but it was inexpensive and been a while.

Today, I grade. I grade, and grade, and grade. I won't feel good about myself until I've graded. That is the goal. That and to get materials that were not properly placed with the boxes after the debacle of others on campus. They are now in my office. I will get them. 

And I will ride Sunday slowly....because I need to.
