This weekend Josh and I went wheeling off to New York for a visit with the Captain and Agent Mike. Thank you kindly to them for the hospitality! Also sighted: the spectacular Jenni and the link-free (but equally great) Jayme. Much good food, mango margaritas, and chocolate in various forms was consumed, many amusing conversations were had, hours of bad television were logged. In addition, we froze nearly to death, were sneered at by sales help in snarky department stores and misled by books that pointed us to businesses which had gone out of business in less than a year, and watched the great movie Wave Twisters. A trip to the city might cause extreme tiredness and a mysterious case of miner's lung, but it's worth it for the replenishment of the soul.
Today was therefore a good day to use one of my large number of accumulated vacation days. It is at this point that I must give mad props to the Recycle Shop, a great place to add to my list of addictions and reasons why the house is never clean. Seriously, if you like random crap and weird surprises, don't fail to make a visit. Plus, the Recycle Shop offers the chance to buy things by the bagful, and who can resist that? It's like open bar after a cover charge. Load up!
