Pain of the day

Last night, Kevin took my sister and me to Pain du Jour, a French bakery/restaurant. We were the only people there (besides the one lady behind the counter) for a while while we ate. Kevin and my sister had paninis, and I had a ham and Swiss cheese crepe and a croissant.

After that we went to downtown Ft. Lauderdale to check things out. Kevin hearts tall buildings, transportation, airports, and anything else related to cities. It was kind of a bad night to take a stroll because it was really cold, but that was okay. We went around to check out the Main Library (which, to our chagrin, was closed for the night) and Las Olas Boulevard. Las Olas isn’t as glamorous or long as it’s made out to be. Well, the glamorous part isn’t very long. We also went to Huizenga Plaza, which has a bandstand, some grass, and a fountain that you can control. I don’t go down to Ft. Lauderdale much, so it was interesting to step into Scotto‘s old haunts. I kept saying “Scotto saw a movie here” or “Scotto took a picture over there” or “Scotto likes to abbreviate the name of this museum” to the point that Kevin and my sister got annoyed.

After that, we went to a Dunkin’ Donuts so Kevin could have a fruit smoothie and my sister could have hot chocolate.

I think everybody has an idea for a movie inside of them. I have an idea of how mine will be. Well, I have the ending, anyway. It’s all stage directions, no dialogue.

That gives me an interesting idea. Have three people write a beginning, middle, and end of a story. Then get someone to link the beginning to the middle, and someone else to link the middle in the end. Finally, have another person look at the whole thing and edit it for continuity. That, I think, would be pretty cool.

Lost something? Found something? Get it listed on the Internet Lost and Found.

It’s not often that an article relating to currency collecting makes the news, but there’s a story right now about a $20 bill that somehow got a fruit sticker stuck on it between the second and third prints. (The back of a bill is printed first, followed by the front, and then the serial numbers and Treasury seal on the front.) It’s expected to sell for thousands of dollars.
