So, if all goes well, here’s a picture of the last of the fall leaves.

Square America‘s Christmas Spectacular: Page 1, Page 2

I thought these were a relatively recent invention, since I don’t recall having seen them before every corner drugstore got a photo printer back in the late 1980s, but apparently I was wrong.

Simple but effective animation.

I got there at quarter to ten, joined the line with six or seven people in front of me, and left with two mid-priced tickets at 10:10. Had there not been presales for both Best Buy members and Police fan club members, who took all of the good tickets, I probably could have scored some great seats. (Nothing will ever beat the second-row center seats I got for Sting, though — also obtained by standing in line, although not at that particular Ticketmaster.)

Now, if I get in to the St. John Westshore Festival of the Arts, that will make for one hell of a mid-July.

I can only hope to be that lovely and poised when I grow up.
