A Walmart Run
I took Smiley to Wal-Mart yesterday to spend the gift cards he got for Christmas. We spent about twenty seconds in the toy aisle before moving on to the art and crafts area.
Books Read and Movies Watched in 2014
With law school and all I fell off the pace of my recreational reading, finishing 2014 with only 42 books. I did better on my movie total, watching 131. Here's my neurotic list of both:
