I spent the weekend putting things into boxes. I filled seven boxes with books to donate to the Notre Dame library. The arrival overwhelmed the librarian. I warned her that there were more on the way.

And... (I hope you are sitting down) I threw away a bunch of books too!

Today I ordered a dumpster for the house. They'll deliver it tomorrow. I have three bags of trash in my office. And you should not make the mistake to think they are trash bags.

You see, the local hardware store made a mistake. They either ordered, or had sent to them by mistake, a bunch of big paper bags to use for leaf disposal. Well, in Guam we do not have to worry about leaf disposal so they were selling them at $1.00 per bundle, 3 bags in a bundle. I bought 3 bundles. These things are huge, they stand on their own, and they are easy to move.

At school we were studying the legend of King Arthur. To cap it off we watched the latest movie about him so I have now seen that movie four times in the last two weeks. I think I've had enough of it.

I set a challenge for the kids. I told them to assume the movies was a 100% accurate picture of where Arthur came from. With that as the starting place I wanted them to imagine how that story became the legend we know today. Well, I thought it was a great assignment. But they didn't. They whined about not knowing the legend, about not being able to understand the assignment, about anything and everything without doing the assignment. Sigh. This generation is doomed.

Well, I guess I better fill some more boxes.
