Long time, no blog
I've been enjoying a few blog-free days. Some of the time spent away from this weblog was deliberate, but there were a couple of times the past few days that I wanted to blog but didn't seem to have the time.

Yesterday, I took the day off, and the wife and I went antiquing together. We haven't done that in ages. We used to visit antique shops and flea markets routinely in the summertime -- she, the serious bargain-hunter among us, looking for dishes and glassware, me sorting aimlessly through the bricolage of pop culture, marveling at the junk and treasures people put a price on. I would find an occasional book, but that was about all I would spend money on. Dy, meanwhile, would find pieces of glassware and tableware she had been wanting.

The only cool thing I found yesterday was a Gene Simmons KISS doll, complete with bloody axe bass guitar. But the price tag was $15, firm. So I passed on it.

Dyann didn't find anything worth buying, either. But we had fun looking.

Last night, we went to the local equity theater's production of Oliver. A co-worker's daughter plays the title role. It was fun, too.
