I’m going to read the graphic novel next and then the novel by Sean Williams.

Below are some pictures from the trip.  The first Target was lacking in stock but it didn’t look like anyone had been there before us. The guys at the White Bridge Road Target in Nashville were having some fun stocking shelves when we showed up and so we took some pictures. Finally Toys R Us was very well stocked and I think we were the first ones there about 30 minutes after they opened this morning.
