Well, I bopped over to Sears and ended up with one of these thanks to all of you who recommended Casio. (They put it in a Timex box after I bought it, which I'm sure would make both Casio and Timex very happy.)

I also had a chance to traipse around the mall unimpeded by children. (Or, I should say, unimpeded by my OWN children.) As always, an interesting experience, leading to fascinating observations.

I usually consider myself fairly nerdy, but I had to re-evaluate in the face of the 10 or so guys playing Warhammer in the comic book store.
I also note that Spencer's Gifts, that emporium of all things of good taste, is selling plug-in video games of Space Invaders right next to plug-in video games of Jenna Jameson Strip Poker.
Victoria's Secret is running a sale and they placed the banners so that they covered up almost all of the mannequins, leading me to wonder if they have had complaints.
While in Gamestop I checked out a demo PSP and was fairly impressed with the graphics, sound, etc. However I managed to win the fight (it was some kind of street fighting game that I didn't even see the name of) just by pushing buttons more or less at random, so that doesn't seem to speak well for that particular game.
Good pool tables still cost more money than I can afford and take up up more space than I can spare. For some reason, it always comes as a surprise to [re-]learn this.
Dairy Queen has apparently teamed up with Orange Julius.
