I hate malls. I hate shopping. So why am I at Concord Mills? Well the plan was to hit the outlets in Blowing Rock, but then we heard that today is App State’s homecoming. The only thing worse than shopping is shopping in the vicinity of a bunch of drunken homecoming folks from a school that is not your own. Thus we made the trek to the home of more than one million square feet of retail. I’ve gotta qualify for some sort of husband-dad award for this, right?
