If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
I won't waste a bunch of time with this, as I'm still recovering from yesterday and I'm sure the bulk majority of my usual readers (all six of you) are probably not around anyway, so here are the bullet points:
One perk/problem/bonus about having both my wife's and my family locally is that we usually end up eating dinner with both folks. Her parents usually eat earlier (noon-ish), my parents in the evening, so it works out. One thing I wasn't aware of until a couple days before Thanksgiving, however, was that we were hosting the in-laws. While we weren't doing any cooking (or much, at least) it did make for a packed house and a crazy day in general.
No, I did not get up at the crack of dawn this morning to hit the various sales. I have better things to do with my time, thank you. Like sleep in on my day off. If you got some cool deals or experiences to share, feel free to comment here.
I think both of Oregon's kickers will be lucky of their houses back in Eugene aren't burned down after tanking as bad as they did in today's game. I'm sure one local blogger is happy as a clam that the Beavers won, and it was at least an entertaining game. But if I were those two place kickers, I'd sleep lightly as there are some crazies in Eugene.
Hopefully all of you are enjoying your weekend, and I'll be back online again on Sunday when I'll be back at work. If you have any stories to share, you've got a comment form below.
