What recession?

So I’m sitting here at the food court in NorthPark mall, wondering if the thousands of people jammed into the aisles and stores have heard that we’re in a recession.

It sure doesn’t seem like it. My favorite store (the Apple store, of course) was jam-packed with laptop buyers and iPhone shoppers, so much so that I gave up on my usual MacBook ogling and retired to the food court. And Chel reports that all the good dresses at Forever 21 have been picked over, leaving only size Extra-Smalls to choose from for her New Year’s attire.

Maybe this is a good sign for the economy and the country. I sure hope so. Regardless, I think I’ll just keep it parked here at the food court and stay out of everybody’s way.
