It was a quiet one. We visited a well-reviewed hobby shop near the hotel we had been in last time. It didn't open until eleven, so we went into a small newstand until it was time. This had an excellent cross-stitch sampler book about 60 percent off the original price, so I grabbed it. While James was in the hobby shop, I went into the used bookstore next door. A bit pricey, but I did find an old Ideals Christmas album that had some stories I hadn't read.

The rest of the day we spent with Rodney. He treated us to lunch at Bertucci's on account of our anniversary (THANK YOU AGAIN, RODNEY!)—excellent, excellent meal, with great bread!—and we also stopped at a book warehouse called Daedalus Books. Found several goodies including what I think is the newest William Safire linguistic book and also the second season Joey Bishop Show DVD set for only $10!

Then we enjoyed Rodney's media room, watching three Doctor Who Confidential programs which we don't see over here, plus the episode showing on Sci-Fi tonight, "The Idiot's Lantern." Unfortunately it was getting late, so we had to pass on the first episode of Torchwood to get back to the hotel and start to pack.

Oldies.com also has the Bishop DVD set for 9.95...as well as the Make Room For Daddy set (released by the same company that did Bishop) and Shout! Factory's Here's Lucy collection.

I wasn't aware that Daedalus Books had warehouses, but I have ordered online from them in the past (got a nice CD featuring performances from Bing Crosby's Philco Radio Time for about $6).

They had the Make Room for Daddy set, but I bought that long ago. I saw the Here's Lucy set, but didn't buy it.

I'd never heard of Daedalus Books before I saw the warehouse. Thanks, Rodney!
