I don't know, It has been a fairly quiet day so far.  Saturday (yesterday) was a bit different.  It started with me waking up about 7:30.  Of course I fed our four cats and two dogs and then sat down to watch the news until my wife got up around 9:00 (a little early for her) to fix a cup of coffee and a slice of toast for me.

Now before you all start sending me sexist rants about waiting for the wife to fix my breakfast, I bought the coffeemaker (a Gaggia brand espresso maker imported from Italy) as a gift for my wife and she just happens to make the best cup of espresso in the world.  I am not supposed to drink coffee at all but sometimes if I whine really well, I am able to convince her to fix me a second cup later in the morning.

After my coffee it was a quick trip to the transfer station with the trash and recyclables.  We do not have the privilege of roadside pickup where I live,  As a matter of fact we must even pay for for the privilege of transporting our own trash to the center!  Following this exercise is the drive to the Post Office to check for our mail and to the gas station to get some fuel for the truck then back home.

Once home, it was turn around and drive to Rutland VT to get our yearly flu shot, then to the Pharmacist to pick up some prescriptions, continue on to pick up my wife's Avon order and then to the Farmer's Market for our sometimes weekly shopping.  Our first stop at the market was the Maplebrook Farm's Cheese Stand to pick up some smoked feta cheese, but horror of horrors, they already were out!  I settled for some smoked mozzarella instead along with some cheese spread made with sun dried tomatoes, basil and garlic. All still very good!  Next on the shopping list was some fresh celery root destined for a future soup, buttercup squash, and some fresh apples.  The entertainment at the Farmer's Market that day was a duo from "Woodchucks Revenge", a local folk group.  Kristina, a singer and violin player in the group is also my wife's french teacher.  We ended the Farmers Market tour by buying two CD's.

Now I normally don't care to run around this way on a Saturday but I was thinking, "This wasn't to bad today!"  But I was wrong!  I then find out they we are on our way to Sears to get my wife's eyeglasses double checked and fixed, then on to Hannaford's grocery store to get "my wife's stuff" and then home.  Just as I am leaving Rutland I hear "You didn't buy me my coffee!"  So we end up after expressing a few across the shift-console barbs towards each other stopping at a new Cafe in Pittsford so "She Who Must Be Obeyed" can buy herself a cup of coffee and an eclair.

Finally home for a supper of General Tso's Tofu and a relaxing evening of watching the firemen work their haunted house and the Red Sox win the pennant.  After the game was over and the firemen were done around 12:30, I waited up to call my son at 1:30 to say "Good Morning!" as my son was leaving his place for work and I was on my way to bed.  He appreciated the contrast in our lives but I don't think his mutterings were fit for print or even the internet.

That was my Saturday, how was yours?
