I don't think I have much to do today. I know some of the usual stuff. A couple loads of laundry. Some dishwashing (including unloading and reloading the dishwasher). I've also got to get outside at one point and clean up all the leaves that seem to have fallen just in time for winter to end.
Stoopid trees.

Speaking of the dishwasher....
I stopped in at the scout shop yesterday to eat up some time and get the boy his new uniform pants. Since this was my first time in the new location, I had to stay awhile and jibber jabber with the store workers. They had a bunch of stuff discounted (I think to make room for new stock). Most of it I didn't need, but I did buy a cool collapsing lantern. And since the national organization just officially changed the name again, I bought one of the new name coffee mugs they already had.

Anyway, the plan is to do a little mapping this morning. Then I'll get outside and clean up those thrice damned leaves before the HOA can whine like a bunch of Karens (or is it Margarets now?). After that, it'll be shower and my typical day.
I'm also hoping to get some reading, bagging, and boarding done.

With the kids out of school all week for "Winter break" (i.e. yet another teacher vacation), I get to leave the house early each day. So I was on the road by quarter to 6 and pulling in the office parking garage at 5:59. That's when the wife texted me to show a picture of the dog with the aluminum foil in her mouth, locked in her kennel.
There was also a request from my wife about locking the "f$%&ing dog" in her kennel when I leave.

Last night, just for the hell of it, I watched The Usual Suspects. It's easily one of my favorite films. The kind I can watch over and over. It got me thinking about what other films I'd put on that list:
Jaws
Big Trouble in Little China
John Carpenter's The Thing
Ronin (with Robert DeNiro)
The Pelican Brief
