feeling well enough to go back to work today. i actually got the first full night’s sleep I’ve had since last Wednesday night, so that helps.
had a medium-size allergy attack yesterday which somewhat impaired my ability to enjoy taking the wife and kids to the albany institute of history and art, but we still had a good time and an awesome early dinner at garcia’s, probably my favourite place to eat in albany.
sad to learn yesterday that the albany borders store is closing. everything is at least 25 percent off, so i bought a star trek novel by peter david and a trek art book (hey, they were on sale) as well as a magazine for my wife.
i’ll miss the albany borders, it was a great example of why that chain is superior to barnes and noble. i wonder how long it will be before the rest of the stores in the chain go under as well…

Weird. When I visit Joe in Long Island, I prefer to go to Borders. It reminds me so much of the Canadian store Chapters (now owned by another Canadian chain, Indigo Books, but still kept separate…) in it’s general layout…I hope they all don’t go down…

Gotta learn not to do the three dot thing with brackets on here…
