I'm thinking about Halloween. What I want to do for Halloween is get dressed up and go see Rocky Horror Picture Show. I'm not sure where or when it might be showing around here, but hopefully there will be a Friday night show on the 31st...I'm going to keep my eyes open. (Anyone interested in going along?)
The Fed Ex Saga:
After the missing wallet story, my license had to be replaced. It was very easy to do, even from here-Mom went to DMV for me, which saved a lot of steps. But New York issues licenses by mail, so I had to wait for my new photo license to arrive. It arrived, and Mom Fed-Exed it from work. She sent it on a Friday, schedueled for Saturday delivery-to my house, not my job. (Most of the time, we send Fed Ex to work, since I'm not here during the day to sign for it.) I waited at home all day yesterday for the Fed Ex delivery, which never showed up. Mom had left the tracking number at work, so this morning she went by her office and e-mailed it to me. Fed Ex delivered the envelope, but not to me. To the leasing office at my complex. No attempted delivery notice was left at my place, and the delivery time listed in the tracking information is 10:29. I was awake and hanging out waiting for Fed Ex at that hour. So it appears that Fed Ex never actually tried to deliver it to my apartment (which they normally do if things are Fed Exed to my home.) And, I can't get the package until Monday because there's no one in Resident Services on weekends...or at least on Sunday.
Hurricane Isabel appears to be coming this way. I think, to avoid the usual NoVa pre-storm insanity, I'll go tomorrow and pick up some more bottled water, some more batteries and a few more things that are appealing when eaten cold out of a can. And maybe some masking tape for the glass doors...
