The presidential debate is being held near me (at Hofstra University in Hempstead). There are warnings on the parkways. It's gonna be fun. They've closed part of Hempstead Turnpike all day for security reasons.

I'd really like to do something tomorrow (aside from going to the bank with Neil since he now has an SSN and can open an account) but I don't want to drive anywhere near that, and I suspect traffic panic may drive people off the Northern Parkway and onto the LIE. I'm sure as hell not going to the mall (right by Hofstra) even though I actually need to.

Dang, I'm annoyed. I got Aliza's halloween costume (yes, I'm dressing her up and taking her out--all the kids in this complex do, it's fun) at Target. The selection wasn't fantastic but we decided on a mouse costume--my mom can paint her face and she'll look cute.

Now I've seen some really good ones on Amazon. She could have been Yoda instead!

(I'll skip the stupidly overpriced ones at Pottery Barn, though.)
