Big day today. We went into Portland, and spent about 10 cents short of a thousand to buy most of what we still needed to run a restaurant.

Then we saw "Hugo," which was a great movie, "great" in the sense that it will change the way movies are made for a generation. It is brilliant on every level, and a must-see for anyone who has an interest in film.

It was late by the time we got home, after a quick trip to Powell's for reading matter and a calendar. No knitting for me, today.
