Sunday. A lovely day spent with my daughter shopping. I didn't really get anything else accomplished. But it was a nice weekend anyway. Much nicer than I imagined it might be.

Our snowstorm was pretty much a washout for our surrounding counties and us. It dusted everything well and slick stuff up nicely on Saturday night but the sun rose on Sunday morning and it turned into a beautiful cold day just right for getting the last of our shopping done (for the most part).

Our tree went up in Saturday and the house smells delightful. I enlisted the help of my son to help decorate it while his sister went to the local grocery store to play with an ensemble of Shriners and other high school band members while the Salvation Army bell was rung. He griped at first but I threatened him with mental harm so he settled in and had a silly time with me.

I rented "Full Metal Jacket", "We are Marshall", and "Gangs of New York".

My daughter caught most of "Full Metal Jacket" and loved it. "We are Marshall" was sappy and boring since it was predictable. Matthew McConaughey was good actually.
I had seen "Gangs" back in 2003. I thought it would be interesting for E to watch but thank god she was gone when I watched it because it had some naughty bits I'd forgotten. Other wise it was fantastic again. I watched the interview with Scorsese on how the movie came about and was glad I did.

Three and a half days before our break. I think I can make it.
