We saw the movie Serendipity last week. A co-worker was surprised that Mr. DumpTruck was willing to attend a movie that didn’t involve lots of flames and guns and guys with revenge on their minds.

But see, if you read the above review, you’ll know that it was worth every penny we shovelled over to go. Oh, and the supporting players are just key in this one. Go. Just go.

Mmmmm. Lobster bisque for lunch. Normally, this is not the sort of thing I’d buy in a cafeteria, but this is from Legal Seafoods, and I guess they sell it to food service companies. Anyway, this was some GOOD eating. Better than the cafeteria clam chowdah.

Bus Songs

Well, it’s a new day here in Big DumpTruck land. This morning I stayed home later than usual to take Mookie to his first field trip ever! My little boy is growing up! He got to take a ride on a school bus ALL the way from one end of the street to the other, where there is a farm stand. They are going to see the animals and pick pumpkins. This is a complete thrill, or should have been if he hadn’t decided to burst into tears on me.
I think it might be my fault. I told him “Don’t forget to tell the bus driver that the wheels on his bus go ’round and ’round” and about 2 minutes later he started sobbing “I don’t want to sing!” I’ll never learn.

Coffee

Keith prepares the coffee pot each night before we go to bed. Right now I am sitting at the counter, doing some work on the laptop, and all I can smell are the coffee grounds just waiting to be kissed by the hot water in the morning. It is hurting me to just sit here smelling that.
