you know, I have considered it. I feel silly for running into CVS for 2-ply toilet paper, but come ON.

I can report that the Cincinnati Trader Joe's was not insane at all. I love TJ's when I am gloomy and not up to a holiday. $100 later, instant jolly!, including steaks, red wine, chocolate cake, a pineapple, pork bao, chocolate covered pomegranate seeds, macintosh apples, and artichoke dip.
I did not actually get anything for my brother and SIL (and their dog), though. But hey, I won't see them until 2pm on Monday - that's ages away!
Our next venture into possible insanity may be ice skating on Fountain Square downtown. I have not yet been able to find an active webcam that will show us how crowded it is.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I've got a big fondness for the Mr Magoo version.
I also think the WKRP in Cinncinnati episode is noteworthy.
Yes, I haven't left yet. sigh.
