I managed to get a walk in by the lake early this morning before the rain hit and was pleased to see a group of goslings on the shore, a sign spring is here. Below are some photos I took.

Synopsis: Five years after a prank went wrong and set him on fire, the significantly disfigured former summer camp caretaker, Cropsy, is released from the hospital. Shortly after, he steals a pair of shears and begins killing summer camp counselors for revenge. Who's in it? The movie stars Brian Matthews , Jason Alexander , Ned Eisenberg , Holly Hunter , Lou David and Fisher Stevens . Review: I was in the mood to watch a horror movie with my wife last night and, after a quick search, decided to give this one a try. It sounded like the type of slasher film we would normally enjoy but it turned out to be a disappointment. I have a number of complaints about this film. The main one would be the awfully long time it takes for Cropsy (David) to do any real damage. It seemed like an eternity before he kills one of the campers and, after that, the movie makes you wait even longer before his next victim. When combined with some of the most annoying horror movie music I've ever list...

 Just a couple photos I took while testing out my new camera battery.

  I stopped at Kwik Trip this morning to pick up something for breakfast and, since none of my normal choices seemed overly appealing, I decided to give this sandwich a try (even though I'm not sure it would normally be considered a breakfast sandwich). Overall, I thought it was an interesting choice. The maple flavored waffles added a sweet taste that worked well with the seasonings on the chicken tender inside. It also fit easily into my hand, making it easy to eat without a big mess (which isn't always the case with some breakfast sandwiches). The sandwich also proved to be filling. It didn't look like it would be enough but I was satisfied after eating it and it stayed with me until lunch. Truthfully, I'm not sure this will be a regular purchase for me but I didn't hate it and do think it is worth trying at least once if you have an opportunity to do so.

I was finally able to get out to the park with my camera for the first time this spring and the trails, while a bit muddy in some spots, were OK enough for me to get through without having to bypass anything. Here are some of my photos.

  Just another random photo taken while on a walk a couple days ago.
