“Son of a son… son of a son… son of a son of a sailor.”

Decent day, all around.
Work wasn’t bad. We even had a rather random moment: One of my coworkers said “You know what I like…?” My first thought was that he would say “Pie.” I was wrong. When he finished, I told him what had run through my head… and then asked him what kind of pie was his favorite. And then I asked another coworker. And another. We asked everyone on the team. For the record, my favorite is Sweet Potato Pie.
I had to run a few errands after work. Despite the holiday-shopping masses, the experiences were rather painless. Crowded, definitely, but painless. While I was standing in a line, the gentleman behind me remarked at how quickly it had moved and that he had expected to be standing in line “until the cows came home,” direct quote. But, the line moved rather quickly and life went on… cows not included.
After that, it was time to pick up
