This is getting to be an expensive habit.

I'd better stop flaring soon; I can't afford the rate I'm going through jigsaw puzzles (it's generally taking one to two days to finish each).

Reminders to myself of puzzles I'm interested in:

Ravensburger Marine Wildlife (sale)
Waiting for Neptune
All the World's a Stage
Quincy Market Puzzle (sale)
Icemark (sale)
Grateful Dead Backstage (sale)
Frogs and Friends (sale)
Giocconda & Vitruvian Man Jigsaw Puzzle Set 2 (definitely!)
The World Jigsaw Puzzle Set 2 (definitely!)
Mapamundi, 1375, Cresques Abraham (definitely!)
Nicolao Visscher Orbis Terrarum Nova (definitely!)
You Are Here (planets) (definitely!)
Da Vinci's World (definitely!)
Magna Carta (definitely!)

I should grab the cheapies (especially the hospital copies -- damaged boxes) soon, but I'm all psyched to have finally found such an assortment of map puzzles. And the two two-packs I've got listed above are both really cool and really good deals, so those're high on the list, too.

Family, if you're wondering about b-day presents, the any of the above would be awesome, but check with me first, because I'm likely going to order a couple in the next week or so; I'm down to one uncompleted puzzle at the moment.

Well as I was told it, both McCain and Obama were in town one day while they were. Apparently McCain drew a small, but respectable crowd (couple thousand), while Obama's rally drew tens of thousands. Dad's hotel room was about a mile from the Rally and he could clearly hear the chants and the crowd reactions.

*chuckle* That's awesome.

I really wish I could make it to a rally, but I can't take time off for it, and I don't have the physical stamina right now for hours of lines and such, anyway. *sigh*
