The Cycle of Grocery Stores

Yet again, I come here merely to point you elsewhere.  Specifically, I direct you to my post on The Post Calvin where I will attempt to woo you with elegantly crafted prose about the Dominick's down the street from my high school.

A walk in the park

Things I learned during my trip downtown today:

1. Other people also have time off in the middle of the day on a Tuesday. A lot of people.
2. It is possible to go 40+ years without learning the lesson "Feeding Geese goes well for No One."
3. Walking a cute dog through a park filled with children on field trips is the quickest way to unparalleled popularity.
4. My dog is the cutest.

You fill up my senses like a night in a forest

I just returned from a week of camping in the Rockies with my extended family on my mother’s side.  The biggest life-lesson take-aways were these: 

1) On a dewey morning, it feels practically impossible to start a campfire without using lighter fluid. 

2) No campfire is as satisfying as the one you ignited without using lighter fluid.

3) Watching people cook food over a fire you started and tended largely by yourself makes you feel like a breadwinner, even when you’re unemployed. 

4) Charred marshmallows are very tasty.  Charred bagels are useless. 

5) Spitting Knob Creek whiskey into a 8-foot bonfire is an almost certain method of ridding your entire family of eyebrows. 

6) Nothing brings a family together like a mutual lack of eyebrows.

You may have noticed a trend.  Don't worry; so did I.
