Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper will be doing his Christmas shopping today, since everyone else obviously did theirs yesterday.
In what can only be defined as a total lack of judgement, the keeper planned a brief shopping stop yesterday afternoon and was immediately trapped in a parking lot traffic tie up that threatened to see him spending the rest of the holidays in the car, without Phyllis who has the good sense to stay home and shop on the internet during all of December.
The keeper never did make it to his intended shopping location but was finally able to extract himself from the traffic mess and slink home, just in time to join Phyllis in an adult kiddie-cocktail, and to regale her with fascinating memories of the Christmas he spent in Korea when the only shopping involved was looking for a hole to crawl into.
The more things change the more they stay the same, or something like that.
