So I am in Florida for the Christmas holidays. The plane trip was surprisingly uneventful, considering the horror stories I kept hearing. I landed in concourse A and took the train over to concourse. Of course they changed our gate number later. We only left about forty-five minutes late, but again not bad, at least we got there, unlike some of the people stuck in Chicago.

The weather varies between balmy and cloudy. The sun couldn't decide whether it wanted to come out today. But it's a welcome change from DC hovering in the early 40s.

Today was mostly shopping at the local mall. One of the stores was in the Christmas spirit. Instead of calling for a particular salesperson, they apparently had codenames. So we heard "Prancer and Vixen to the customer service counter..." (For some reason it makes me think of Hilary and Jeff in "Christmas in the Airwaves":

Hilary: "Oh, Jeffrey!--why every Christmas do you start acting like Santa's reindeer?"
Jeffrey {puzzled}: "Reindeer? Ah, what--like Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen?"
Hilary: "Yes. You start dashing out with some dancer and prancing around town, you vixen."

Probably not the image the store was going for...

Where are you in Florida? I'm on the Emerald Coast, and I don't expect you're up here,but just curious.

Welcome to the subtropical wasteland. :Þ It was just raining over here. Hopefully we're not going to have another awful wet Christmas like last year.

And that Orlando comics place you refer to in your other post is just down the highway from me. *g* I haven't been in there in a long time.

I did recently learn that the Intergalactic Trading Company, which I thought long gone, is apparently just at a different location now--over in Longwood. That one historically had a lot more in the way of actual scifi media than comics/anime, including out-of-print/production items, and I made some great finds there a dozen years ago and more. Just something to know if you end up further over this way at some point. :)

Hey there, I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

I've been meaning to ask... have you any plans for New Year's Eve yet? If not, you'd be welcome over here. Eric will be over, and I'm planning a nice, quiet game night in. Has been entirely too long since I've seen you!

Having a good time thus far.

So far I have no plans for New Year's and I'd love to do a game night!
