The Mets game that wasn't*

But we did get that night's giveaway, a replica of Shea Stadium, out of our trip.  So that was nice.

Shopping tips

1.  Many Sharper Image stores are going out of business and are taking percentages off.  But you might not be able to return what you buy.  Also, the website is down indefinitely.

2.  Bed Bath and Beyond accepts coupons that have expired, and sometimes uses all the coupons you give them even if it's more than one per item.  The coupon where you get $5 off any $15 purchase is a good one.  Today I used one from April.  I also had several 20 percent off coupons, which took additional money off my items.   Also, their coupons apparently can be used at Linens and Things, and vice versa.
