Silent Auction at Habitat ReStore
Silent Auction is running until Wednesday, December 8, 2010 at 2 pm. Pretty wide variety of items up for bid including bicycles, mini beer barrels, teapots, a set of Hardy Boy books and my favorite: a table and four chairs from a soda shop.
Free When Available at Habitat ReStore
This sign was found today at Habitat ReStore in Winston-Salem. Hardback books are normally $2 and softbacks $1, but Bibles are free when available. Pretty good selection of books here.
Meet the President?
President Obama is making his way to Forsyth Tech next Monday. My oldest has a class (International Biz) at Forsyth Tech every M-W-F, so there's a chance he could see the President. He asked me if it's okay if he misses a class or two at Career Center or West Forsyth if he has the chance to see the President. In my mind meeting/seeing the President is about as good an excuse for a potentially unexcused absence as you're ever going to have so he's going to get the green light.

“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly”
This is one of my all-time favorite TV clips. Classic WKRP in Cincinnati turkey drop:
5K, Sweet Potatoes and Consumption. Happy Thanksgiving!
Every year we contribute the sweet potatoes to my in-laws’ mega-feast. The potatoes are cubed and boiling, soon to be mashed and baked.
Two of our kids did a 5K Turkey Trot with their grandfather and are now vegging in front of the TV. The other kid is taking a too-long shower and his mother is primping for the festivities. Yours truly is blogging from a Blackberry and trying to properly time his first adult beverage of the day. All is right in the world.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
