I was just bemoaning the loss of brick-and-mortar toy stores. Not sure if that slots me into love / loathe.

We've got a great one here called The Inland Octopus and it's right next to the chocolate shop (voted best in the state) - perfect!

I predict that 15-20 years from now brick and mortar malls will be back. When an entire generation who hasn't experienced that level of tactile shopping overload are the prime market retailers will bring that experience back. We will evolve back to being an out or the house hunting and gathering species instead of the current click it and bring it to me species.
Main thing they have to fix is that it's oooo much easier to find the exact style, model, olor, size and what retailers have that available in an online database than it is going store to store and digging through piles of merchandise.

^^^ the almost dead mall on the west side of town just announced a major renovation and expansion.

Pro tip:

If you go to a Robert Earl Keene “Merry Christmas From the Family” themed Christmas party, you’re gonna be severely hungover.

Tis the season for random gifts.

Partner of mine just walked into my office and said, you want a couple live Maine lobsters?

Apparently a client had sent them to his house unannounced and when his wife opened the packaging there was a couple of Maine's finest crustaceans wiggling around looking up at her. They're now en route to me.

The leftover boeuf bourginon will have to wait until Thursday I guess.

After the death of my father, I came to dislike Christmas a bit. It was never the same; I used to love this time of year.

This year is different. Having some quasi-winter weather in our normally wet and gray environs helped. Begrudgingly, I put some Christmas lights up on the house and the wife decorated things inside. It's helped turn me around and I like this time of year a little more now. A few days of some great skiing recently has also helped in this regard.

Merry Christmas, you filthy animals!

You should try to let BMills' joy for the season rub off on you. It refuses to be repressed.

EDIT: which reminds me, I need to post something...

Hey, I'm trying. The wife has an indomitable Chris spirit, so that's helped.

Well done EWG. My lot in life is to be forever tormented by Mariah it seems. C’est la vie…

We’re gonna have the hap-hap-hapiest Christmas here since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny fucking Kaye, Bobcat Sig!

J/k bud. I hear ya. Christmas was HUDGE in my household/family cause my parents made it very special in every way in all ages of our lives (and not in a Griswold way either [NTTAWWT], just traditions, parties, family, giving, winter, skiing, etc… so when my Dad passed that was a massive hole for a while.

Glad to hear you’re easing back into it. I’m glad I did. It keeps all the good stuff alive for us. Hope a bit of it can for you as well.

Now, go shoot your eye out.

Also, here’s the 3lb Maine mudbugs I got surprisingly today; still steaming out of the pot. Picked up some asparagus, a baguette and 2 bottles of bubbles on the way home to go with it.
