Scottsdale closed?

After another fruitless run at the thrift stores this morning (being wise, Pamela did not participate) we decided to check out Scottsdale in the afternoon. There's an Old West section (we passed), another section of mixed little shops, and an art area. We walked through the last two but were disappointed to find that many shops were closed for President's Day. And a place to grab a coffee and relax we never did find.

We did stop at the Poisoned Pen bookstore, where Pamela bought a couple of mysteries. Pretty cool store, with photos of dozens of writers who have appeared at the store over the years. The clerk, who also works as a librarian, seemed to know everything about the mystery/crime genre.

If you haven't discovered the TV show Men of a Certain Age, check it out. Great show, and you don't have to worry about Jack Bauer getting hung by his thumbs again, or hanging someone else.
