A broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterday's life

Went to Boonville yesterday to see an adaptation of Scrooge. It involved random Missouri-isms thrown in and it was a staged reading, complete with paper scripts. At least it was free and the cd of Christmas music they played wasn't bad.

We thought it started at 3:00, but it actually began at 4:30. In the meantime we had dinner at the casino. All of the roads in town were still pocked with icy potholes, but the casino was like a beacon- the parking lot was immaculate. I guess its all about priorities.

We shopped at Kohl's for about an hour, where I found Dad's Christmas present.

Then, we hit the Blue Note for Dr. Dog and The Black Keys. It was a good show, even sans smoking.

Now, back to the daily grind of work and getting necessary shit done. The week after the snow days is always a drag.
