I’ve got one word for you: BLISTERS. My feet STILL haven’t recovered. Oh course, the fact that all the escalators were turned off (to avoid costumes getting caught in ’em) didn’t help matters any. (Historical Note: They stopped doing the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
See, I try to have all my stuff out in the car by 9 in the morning on Sunday, to avoid the swarm of folks at 11:30 trying to get out before the check out deadline. Ironically, I still ended[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
