So ..... here's the story: I rook my wife shopping on a dreary and chilly Monday at the Crossings Outlets in Tannersville, Pennsylvania. She often shops there when we stay in the Poconos, Pa. . Closer to us our on Long Island we have actually two Tangers Outlets but she prefers to shop more when we're away and I was not working this past week so we ended up in the Poconos instead of coming home on a Sunday or Monday. Now I brought some papers and magazines to read as I'd have a couple of hours to kill while my wife strolled around Old Navy and Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, The Loft, Coach, and endless shoes and pocket book shopping. ..Do I shop for a wallet every day? What's this fascination for shoes and pocketbooks? Anyway, let me tell you: 3PM at the food court at the Crossings. NO LINES. Do you really think I'll be sitting in my car or walking while I was a free man.? I sat down in the food court enjoying a big slice of pizza and then had an egg roll and even a hot cinnamon bun with a chocolate milk shake to wash it all down. Please Don't Tell My Wife. Now, I'll be able to hold off until dinner at Friendly's nearby we usually go to.
