* My blogging has become a bit infrequent, so I apologize. I've had to concentrate on getting my health in order by walking each morning and not drinking a zillion espresso shots to fuel my writing. I've also been incredibly busy with work projects.
* Catzilla has been roaming our halloween villages. When we're home, we can shoo him away from nibbling on fences, trees, building tops, pumpkin pieces, etc...but I have to ask, what kind of damage does he do when we're not home???
* We went to the Sears nearby in Manchester, CT, to look at the line of "A Christmas Story" pieces, and they had the two new buildings, "Uptown Theater" and the "Optometry". I read that the "Uptown Theater" is from the literary source which spawned the movie, and that the Optometry is where Ralphie was assumed to go to fix his glasses. The new accessory piece of Ralphie with his broken glasses was not available there. They had several pieces from last year also. We strolled through Macy's and they had all of their holiday stuff out - including a rack of miscellaneous Department 56 pieces, Snowbabies and Krinkles.
* The "Ideas for new buildings and series" poll to the right seems to be pushing the 50 vote mark, with "Newport Mansions" as the leading vote getter, followed closely by "Dr. Seuss House" and "Yankee Candle". I actually saw on an older inventory list an actual "Armed Services Recruiting Station", but I can't figure out how to remove it from the poll script.
