It helps if I don't think...

We had to drive out to Dunwoody to the vet to get Willow new meds—the penicillin was making her itchy—so we just went a little further and had lunch at Fry's. Wasn't looking for anything in particular. We did find the Fury and Sky King DVDs that Alpha Video has put out. I have three of the four episodes of Fury available, but I wanted the fourth. I enjoyed Fury almost as much as I loved Lassie and wish the entire series would come out in DVD. Sure would be better to watch than reality TV and the latest sitcoms!

We checked out the JoAnn Etc. nearby—the one at Town Center has been darn slow in ordering new stock!—and also stopped at the Barnes & Noble nearby: woohoo! I finally found my favorite cross-stitch magazine, Quick & Easy there. I haven't seen one in months; the store at Town Center seems to have just quit carrying it. I wish all B&Ns carried the same magazines! I've found Quick & Easy in Harrisonburg, VA, and in Warwick, RI, but it's like pulling teeth to find here.

(There is the funniest article in Q&E: the last pattern in the magazine is always a head shot of some favorite pop star or actor. Last July it was Christopher Eccleston, who starred in the Doctor Who revival. There's a story by a woman in this issue who is friends with Eccleston's mother; the moment this woman saw the pattern she showed it to Mrs. Eccleston, who was delighted and asked the woman if she wouldn't work the pattern for her. So the woman did so and Mrs. Eccleston loved it. The article has a snapshot that Mrs. E took of Christopher holding his cross-stitch portrait. It was quite adorable!)

(I found a number of cool books on the remainder racks, too: George Carlin's When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, a book of the best of Eleanor Roosevelt's "My Day" columns, and a fascinating book called The Keystone Kid about a gentleman who was a child actor in the Keystone Kops silent comedies.)

We'd picked up a steak when we stopped at Food Depot for a paper this morning and James grilled it. Yummy with Yukon gold potatoes! Just finishing laundry and watching a special about "the real DaVinci code" narrated in rather James Burke style by Tony Robinson, who most people know from playing Baldrick in the Blackadder stories.
