Success at the DMV and the Mall!!

Now both our cars are registered in NY!! My poor kids had to sit with me at the DMV and be bored silly, but it's done. Just have to get both cars inspected now at a local shop within ten days and that ordeal will be done for a year. We then went to the Carousel Mall (see the scanned postcard to the right) and had a nice lunch at Johnny Rockets. I asked our waitress, and yes, this is the same Johnny Rockets that Leo Dicaprio had a meal at not long ago-it was in the papers here, quite a bit deal. He was apparently really quiet, low-key, only recognized by one staff member at Johnny Rockets. Oh, and speaking of famous people, Richard Gere went to North Syracuse high school, I've been told. Homer Gere, Rich's Dad, still lives here and delivers meals-on-wheels, too! Maybe I'll get to meet him sometime. Anyway, the girls and I shopped away. I was surprised when Alissa didn't go for it when I offered to buy her a Hollister t-shirt. I think she didn't think it was a good value, or didn't care about the label or what. She ended up with three shirts from Old Navy for the same price of that Hollister shirt. Maybe she was as annoyed with the terribly loud music in that Hollister store, too. All right, the A/C vent, which is on the floor, is turning my feet to ice. Gotta go for now.
