I went to Florida and the Mardi Gras in Pensacola. We ate out, we saw a parade, spent time walking along the beach, visited museums. I think that was good for the last part of February.

Now I have up & quit the bookstore. One of my reasons was that if all I do is work, I never can do a thing. The job really didn’t pay much, not even minimum wage. I just like hanging out in bookstores. Over the last decade the business has changed, as have my duties. I rarely got to chat with customers any more. By quitting I am able to have a little free time to do some actual hanging out again!

On last Thursday night, I went to the movies with my son & his two best friends for the MIDNIGHT showing of “Watchmen.” I didn’t get home until 3 AM. I chatted with him, his friends, the theater manager – the Crow’s twin brother.

Then on Saturday night everyone in family went out for the Boy’s birthday. We went to the nicest Italian restaurant in town (not chain) and spent a long leisurely meal. Even the Chunk enjoyed the outing.

I am calling the first couple weeks of March challenge completed.
