Another sign that the economy is in the crapper -- none of the local malls seem to have the store that sells nothing but Xmas decorations this year. Oh, they've all got plenty of empty retail spade. But apparently no one thought there was any money to be made in ornaments and lights.
Also, here's a radio update (since I know you're planning your days around this info). I'll be on again this Thursday, 7-9am. Sunday, 2-6pm, I'll be sitting in with Sarah for Xmasville Lounge 2008. Then I'll be off until New Year's. I'll definitely be on 7-9am on 1/1, altho it's up for grabs how coherent and well-rested I'll be. There's also a chance I'll be back on the air from 4-6pm as part of XDU's Top 100 of 2008 countdown.

We have one up here. It moved in right after the Halloween store moved out. (Which moved in right after the Labor Day store moved out, I think.)
