in keeping with my theme...

...of recovering whilst helping fund the economy, i went on a recuperation walk through soho. while i generally put soho in a class with times and herald squares, it is, unlike the other two, rather innocuous during the non-tourist season / times of the day and week. and it was lovely, but the merchandisers and marketers of some of my favorite stores like crate and barrel, express (i miss its pre-marriage name: structure), and a few others made me sad as they've seemed to have forgotten right about halloween, thanksgiving, and some other lesser holidays before it careened 0 - 60 to christmas. thankfully, urban outfitters is holding out just that much longer.

and speaking of hollowween, does your humble blogger reincarnate miss pussy willow, his mischievous southern-belle sister who visited just that one time in june, (no i will NOT post a picture here, so don't ask), or will he be chairman mao again?
