I'm done, finished, finito...without rolling one tire into the parking lot or one foot inside a mall. Long live individually owned stores, antique shops, thrift shops and strip centers.![]()

I met a friend for lunch today at North Park and laughed my a@@ off at all of the mad scramble of crazed shoppers. I, on theother hand, just wandered and meandered and lingered to my heart's content without a care in the world. IT WAS GREAT. Even the crowds didn't bother me. Yippee, yippee, joy, joy![]()
