As with many small businesses, especially those busy this time of year, we're open today and tomorrow for our regular hours. Much to the dismay of my semi-practicing Catholic wife. In other words, I get a extra day and a half of relaxation at work!

Man is it windy today. Those extra winter pounds are coming in handy!

It's pizza and movie (at home) night with the kids which I'm really looking forward to. Sweatpants and a t-shirt, prone on the couch for the evening is my kind of night!

We took them to see Horton Hears A Who last weekend and it was a cute flick. Holy crap have the movies gotten expensive. We had a bunch of gift cards begging to get used and for 2 adults, 3 kids (little guy was freebie under 2 ) it was over $70 for the "cheap" matinee with popcorn and sodas. There is enough left on two of the cards for the Mrs. and I to escape to a flick at some unforeseen point.

High end-ish hotel in Hong Kong that has rooms that smell like basement. Is a suck - however - complaining to management, touring three other rooms that, surprise, smell like basement - may at times result in a So sorry Mister Kelley, please, enjoy whatever you would like from the mini bar, no charge response from the hotel staff.

For the record, 20cl = 6.764 shots. Dang mini-bar does NOT have mini-bottles. 6.764 shots of Gordon's gin in a me apparently results in this level of typing abilities (thank dog for google's auto spell check ).
