Lunch at Brick Pond Park
It's just slightly chilly out, but sunny. Picked up Firehouse and walked over from the golf course parking. Looking forward to the new parking lot behind the almost-complete municipal building!
There are more people out today than when I first came here on Monday. I guess they saw the news report we did yesterday ;)

EVERYTHING! HA HA HA HA
So my brother occasionally makes Christmas albums featuring his sons singing. They are my favorite things in the world. During the bridge of a rousing rendition of Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, my nephew Connor lists off what he wants for Christmas. Following an exhaustive litany of items, he proclaims, "EVERYTHING! HA HA HA HA."
Today I got the idea to clip out that part of the song and post it to my webspace. Then, whenever I'm annoyed at life, I can simply tweet, "Know what I hate?"--and post the link to that mp3.

Lunch
Chicken fajita wrap from Frisch's. Any health benefits are surely
negated by the sheer size of the thing.

Well, that was easy!
Hardly any line, and no fuss overseas postage.
...I can't believe I managed to send or give cards to EVERYONE!

Pies!
I just realized I didn't document the entire pie-baking process with
photos as usual. Ah well...here's the result!

Casablanca with Arturo
This is a beautiful place! The special, turkey salad sandwich with
cranberry sauce and almonds sounded divine, but I went for the chicken
curry sandwich since I don't have a lot of points left today. (Maybe
there won't be much of a point difference, though...)
