Stocking up before the storm

The supermarket was a zoo, many like us stocking up with supplies before a predicted ice storm hits. Ah, I remember that wonderful film, The Ice Storm. At any rate, in a zoo it's best to mellow out. People watching can be entertaining. There were husbands with their lists, some scrawled, some computer printouts; mothers giving their kids a ride in the cart; fashionable women buying white wine and guys in baseball caps buying beer; a few bewildered elderly wandering around as if they were looking for something. We got in and out in less than an hour but still managed to spend $100.

Back home, I finished the large Fiction section of the journal. Poetry, Art and some straggling video left. Maybe 4 or 5 hours work? Damn close, at any rate.

I took out Revolutionary Road to read again. Been a while, a work of genius is always inspiring.
