I seem to be in the sore-throat stage of getting a cold. I could do without it, though I appreciate the excuse to eat ice cream, and the added phlegmy rasp for shouting “Damn you, Tiny Tim!” in the middle of NYRSF meetings. (No, I don’t remember the context.)
The window displays at Macy’s this year seem to be advertisements for The Polar Express. Looks like reviewers of this movie would be well-served by a familiarity with the robotics concept of the Uncanny Valley.
