Well, I had to take them someplace nice and quiet, because I managed to get Dad to the roller derby game on Sunday. He felt bad that the girls couldn’t afford new fishnet stockings, and had to skate in ripped ones. Sarcasm, he has it in spades.

BTW, the game was great, the hometown team won against the Colorado Springs team, and I finally got to see another game. Next time I have to track down one of the players as I found out she is distantly related to me.

Can’t wait to have her derby picture added to the family genealogy.

Thanksgiving with the Fam & The Week to Come

Mom and Pop came to town. Thanksgiving, we had a great/unhealthy dinner at The Colonnade and stuffed ourselves. The day after, we spent the day at Stone Mountain. Gorgeous day, not too expensive, good pictures were taken. We were all surprised at how extensive the attractions were at the site. Wikipedia has a thorough entry on Stone Mountain, which included the fact that before carving Mount Rushmore, artist Gutzon Borglum joined the Klan while working on a never-completed version of the mountain’s Confederate memorial.

It’s Sunday and I’ve already been working for 2 days. I won’t be off work until next Sunday. 8 days in a row, 4 different employers. And after all that work, I’m hoping for some fun.

I posted about the show last year and now its being produced in Atlanta by Dad’s Garage Theatre. I’m jumping on the couch with joy!
