Wednesday's, Friday's and News

Wednesday is my day off during the week and just about anything can happen. It's so great to be able to have so many options and I think we can all agree on that.
This past Wednesday I took Drew to the dentist. So we go and of course Drew doesn't like the goo (fluoride) they put in his mouth. But he does like the goodie bag he gets. Even though Drew HATES the goo, Amy Britt does a great job at keeping him at ease.

Later, we decided to meet Bree in Fayetteville and cruise on over to Barnes and Noble. Going to the bookstore is always a treat. I mean, even if I don't find what I want to read, we can still jump on the StarBucks coffee and Bree's favorite White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake.

This past Friday began the high school football season. Drew and I usally go to a game with David Hester and Jimmy Driscoll or with whoever can make it that night. Friday night we went to see South Columbus vs. Lake City. Lake City was really impressive winning 34-13. If South Columbus team is up to par with the teams the past few years, then Lake City might be making a run for a SC State Championship. It was that much of a mismatch.

The family and I were waiting on supper at Bravo Pleasant Pizza Saturday night when "Mr. Can't Get Enough Info" noticed the Greek TV station had a big news report on the fires outside of Athens. I told Bree "I bet the news sources over here won't even mention this." Much to my surprise around lunchtime Sunday, I was listening to WDAV out of Davidson and they had a report about the fires. I was extremely happy. In most cases it seems the news reports over here ignore a ton of news going on outside of our borders. A couple of years back I had to go online to an Australian news source to find out about a super typhoon. Over here --- no coverage! It's as if this catastrophic event has to hit the U.S. to register a blip on the U.S. news radar.

And as always,
Bye for now---
