We went shopping for shorts yesterday for an upcoming trip. I might as well just walked up to a brick and kicked it because trying to find shorts in January in Minnesota is impossible. Thank god at least one store, Mervyn’s, has total disregard for our weather. They had a couple pairs which would get me through the next couple of weeks.

I’m trying to decide between two things: a personal video player (for the plane ride) or a tread mill. The PVP has a very high geek factor. And it would be useful in many situations. But the tread mill is practical and healthier. I’ll need to ponder this a bit more before making a decision.
