We've got a pretty nice little Saturday planned...not really

Rarrr earning his keep. Raked up about thirty bags of leaves which is a lot for him.

Waking up at 5:30 am on Saturday morings is starting to feel pretty standard. I actually kinda like it provided I didn't get into the sauce the night before. Breathing Jim Beam on your daughters face first thing in the morning is kinda, well, irresponsible at best...jut plain sad at worst.

We have nothing planned this weekend...nothing..no Michigan football misery, no yard work to do (lie), no visiting on the agenda, no nuthin'...Yesterday was Black Friday over in the States so a shopping day could be in order today but we dunno. I was gonna go and sneak another tattoo in but since it's not eactly like sneaking a cookie from the jar I might hold off on that one. It was a nice little June deal but it might just have to become a reality a few weeks from now instead.

The family is headed back to New York for Christmas...well, pre-Christmas...we'll be leaving on the 13th me thinks and headed back East. This time 'round we're staying over in Weehawken, got a place right there by the Lincoln Harbor Ferry over to Manhattan and we're absolutely stoked about the mid-town Manhattan view. It'll be a beauty way to usher in Christmas, that's for sure. Then we'll shoot back home in time for Christmas Eve and Dad's tradition of "It's a Wonderful life" even if sometimes it isn't. But that's all weeks away, for now we need to fill up this Saturday...

My 6 am quicklist of options...

- Head Stateside and get some Christmas shopping done and out of the way...

- Go get a tattoo

- Call Corey and Steph and see what's cookin' tonight...

- Do nuthin' and then regret it later...

- Turn the basement into someplace we'd actually like to hang out in...

- Blog some...then be bored...

- Drive to Toronto and check out that weird independant artists show thing...

- Go buy some records...

That's about all I can think of right now.
