Activities and highlights.
Grocery shopping: I didn’t know Founders Brewery produced a regular ol’ 4.4% lager; I was again the victim/beneficiary of a good can design.
Breakfast: spontaneous–Black & Gold Burrito from Main Squeeze, plus we got the hell out of Dodge before foo’ball insanity.
Neighborhood walk: Very peaceful, borderline warm, got the ol’ blood circulatin’.
Afternoon Free for All: I continued reading Jim Thompson’s ridiculous and riotous Pop. 1280 and exploring unfamiliar albums from music lists; Nicole whipped up some shepherd’s pie!
Mail: My notary lock-bag arrived–so exciting!
Dinner: The shepherd’s pie was too good for me to limit myself to two servings of!
Evening: We revisited Zack Snyder’s Watchmen movie (better than I remembered) and sipped tiny glasses of delicious Five Farms County Cork Single Batch Irish Cream Liqueur.
Now, who won the game?
