Yesterday, we made sure to get in to Tampa International two hours before our flight was scheduled to leave. Thanks to the magic of electronic check-in kiosks, we were at the gate in fifteen minutes, giving us plenty of time to kill. (In one of the airport shops, we saw a frightening "interactive storyteller" toy. I Always Do What Teddy Says.) Due to weather in Cincinatti, our flight out of Tampa was delayed by two hours. I finished Fight Club and made a start on Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About before we'd even left the ground. Harrumph.

Today: Bummed around Miami University while Karen interviewed. Nice library. They do have the Early English Books series on microfilm, but it's in storage; you have to tell them what reels you want, and they'll send you an email when they've retrieved them. Bummer. Read a bit of "Wife No. 19", an autobiography of one of Brigham Young's many wives. Walked around a bit on campus and in town.

In the evening, got together with Jen of VeryBigBlog. From her writing, I imagined her to be fairly laid back, but she was quite animated and energetic. We visited "Jungle Jim's", a store with four acres of foodstuffs from all over the world. Got quite a haul: candies (including Jelly Belly candies which resembled M&Ms, but had flavored coatings), sodas (Vimto, Afri-Cola, caffeine-free Mountain Dew), a tube of German mustard, pears (which turned out to be disappointingly flavor-free), and more.
