This is a rather interesting incident:
I ordered a set of tab dividers from the local Staples because they didn’t have it in stock. It was suppose to be delivered to the store the next day. They will call me when it comes in.

I was thinking about this because I thought I am not good at keeping the house clean. That is not true. It is not a difficult task to clean the house. I may not be very efficient. I may take twice as long as a professional housekeeper. But I CAN do it.
Buzz Lightyear ride was cool, but is the scoring really accurate? Half the time I couldn’t see my dot on the target.
Walnut High School marching band was awesome! They played Zippadeedooda all the way down Main Street. Is that how you spell it??
The food at the Plaza was not bad, not as bad…
