of mice and men.

Today was just one of those days, it started off late and continued on through most of the day. I got up later than planned, I was late to my first appoint of the day (just five minutes but it set the tone) and it just compounded from there. As the time on the watch above shows it was 6pm, an hour after I was planning to leave work – I just couldn’t get ahead of the curve today.

Good news is, the day is almost over – hope tomorrow runs a bit smoother.

Out of soap.

Tonight at the boys’ den meeting we continued to work on their whittling chip by using their knives. A few weeks ago we started with proper use, sharpening and safety and tonight because they continued to manage to use their ears and common sense started whittling.

Many, many, soap shavings later we can some that looked like a bear and some that looked like blocks of soap that had been carved by a knife. On the whole a good evening with only one minor wound, Alex cut his thumb (my son and the the denner to boot) and all are looking forward to the next time they can take out their knives.

At least not tonight.

Ok, so it’s not the healthiest cereal on the planet but when you have a day that just doesn’t seem to have too many good things in it a nice bowlful of sugar always seems to help. Of course it does help that the wife wasn’t in the mood to cook and neither was I so a bowl, a spoon and add some milk and you’re good to go.

So, how often do you have cereal for dinner?

No, so can you pick some up?

Seems like a twice weekly occurance – we run out of milk on the home front. I’m not sure what it is, maybe the three growing kids I have at home? So there I was, once again, in the grocery store on the way home picking up another gallon of milk for the family.

A side note, milk is $2.49 a gallon and it’s been about the same price for a while now which by the way is also about the same price gas is now – conspiracy?

I actually managed to leave the office during daylight hours!

Today’s picture is from the parking lot of the office I work out of when I’m in Marlboro MA. I manage a department which spread across three locations, this one happens to be furthest from my home and after snapping this photo it took my almost two hours to get home.

How was your commute today?
