Universal Studios Florida's 2024 Halloween Horror Nights event is over for the year, but I can't resist doing a debrief anyway.

I’ve never been a candle girlie as such. I like a nice smell as much as the next person! Yet I don’t collect or anything. Still, candles have become a necessity since I moved to Puerto Rico.

Sure, by this point I’m sure I’ve spent a solid five figures on Disney parks, but that’s over the course of a good decade and a half and more. Call it discretionary spending, but never debt.

My January trip report has a coda! If you read that report (and you totally should if you’ve got several hours to spare; I like to use every word I know every time), you’ll recall I spent some time browsing the Mitsukoshi department store in the Japan pavilion. And although my November trip report doesn’t mention it explicitly, I...

The Wilmington Marathon isn’t, say, runDisney or Marine Corps Marathon big, with fancy sponsors and thousands of participants. But it’s gotten big enough to have its expo in a convention hall, which is where I found myself for bib pickup the day before the race. There was all the usual stuff – official race merch, running store and athletic store...
