So yesterday ... another glorious sunny fall day in the land of the tree's that have lost their leaves... (sniff... :***)
I spent a lot of time outside, wrapping shrubberies in burlap and putting these plastic tube things on the saplings to protect the little trunks from winter-mice.
I was mildly impressed by how un-scared the kids were by The Shining. The scariest bits were really the music and the way it drew you to the edge of your seat.
It didn't help the whole fear thing that Wendy was such a complete moron.
And ... has anybody read the book? (I haven't... I suppose I ought to...) but what the heck was with the guy in the mouse costume that appeared to be giving head to some guy in a tux in a bedroom when Wendy-the-loon was running around the hotel brandishing her giant kitchen knife and blubbering? There must be some point-of-reference to that scene that was either cut from the movie but included in the novel or... something.
Today is all about being freezing cold and crummy... but it's a small price to pay for what is supposed to be a fabo week ahead. The weather idiots are promising a few days of sunshine and +17 degree temps. I might even be able to score a short scoot at a skate park before I put the decks away for the winter.
planning

Well... good luck tomorrow.
All kidding aside... I will make a point of sitting the boys down to get them to take it in.
I remember my dad making me sit down and watch the news in October 1973...
Yom Kippur war...
Some things... you will remember.
For whatever reasons work for you.
