Friday night fun

Cindy, Kate and I drove up to Hampton and I conducted a closing for a couple. Afterward, Kate drove us up to Lovejoy and over to Fayetteville. We did a little shopping at Target. There was a sign on the wall as you entered the store which said that some type of hamsters could only be purchased in multiples of five. Reading that, I needed to find these special hamsters. I went into the pet store part of Target and found a ton of food and assorted acoutrement for pets, but no hamsters. As a matter of fact, no types of pets at all.

Target was pretty much a bummer, so Kate and I drove Cindy to Marshalls and headed to Old Navy. Which was also a bummer, other than Kyle, who rang up Kate's order like the champion Old Navy employee he is, then suggested we remember his name for the next time someone decided to return to Old Navy. That could be a long time, as far as I am concerned.

At any rate, Kate and I joined Cindy at Marshalls', or actually entered the store and wandered around the store until Cindy showed herself, which took quite awhile. Marshalls' had stocked a number of really fine sweaters and shirts and jackets, but, as Cindy said, I don't really need any clothes at this point.

Which led us to the subject of what I want for birthday and Christmas. Well, first of all, oysters for Thanksgiving Eve supper. Lots of oysters. A box of Broadbent's wonderful pork products and assorted goodies. A trip to the Western Art Museum in Cartersville. Some art supplies and maybe some tickets to some bsketball and hockey this Winter. Maybe a trip to Virginia and Kentucky during basketball season.

Christmas will be here soon. Dunwoody won. Spalding did not. Newnan upset Valdosta (Titletown). Clempson beat PC. Tenersee beat APSU. Kentucky is beating up on Morehead State, although Kate says that game is over. The Hawks won.

Georgia plays Auburn tomorrow in Athens. Go Red and Black! Oldest continous rivalry in deep South. Second football game in the South (W&L v. VMI was first). Steve Galloway and I will have to get together and eat supper, watch football, and discuss the simple pleasures of life in the South: food, drink, football, religion. Friday night is still a grand time to be at a high school football game.
