Today I Learned . . . (2014-04-26)

Today I Learned . . .

In the movie "Clerks 2", when Dante is driving around looking for Becky, he stops at one point in front of your typical suburban house.  Inside is a typical suburban family.  The family daughter looks out the window at him and waves.  Dante waves back.

The girl playing the daughter is the director's real life daughter.

I got up and made it to SARCAN for 10:30 this morning.  The place was busy, which was disappointing.  But I got $45 so that was a just reward.

I cleaned out the sink, filled the dishwasher, and washed my dishes this afternoon.
