Weekend

When I arrived home Friday, C and M here just heading out to the grocery. Will left, to go to a play down at Georgia State with Joel. I couldn't find the remote, but the TV was on ESPN, so I watched all the leadup for the aircraft carrier game.

Saturday I cleaned up some, then took Will to the field for some BP. Pitched him two buckets of balls, then hit him two buckets of infield grounders, plus several to him in the outfield. Then I pitched him another bucket. Wore me out! When we got home Will cut the grass, mulching all the leaves. He raked and tilled Ceil's flowerbeds, then mixed in the leaf mulch. He also blew the driveway.

When Will finished the yard, he went for a run. In December there is a 4-H Club 2-1/2 mile run at Rock Eagle, and Will thinks he has a shot at winning the race. He was worn out after all that.

I folded laundry while watching the Clemson game. Ceil had taken Anna and Matthew down to Cleveland Avenue, where a group was working with the homeless. Then Ceil stopped at IKEA on the way home. Later I went down near Bolton Road to pick them up.

Had a small group "Thanksgiving" dinner. Big crowd…about 30, counting all the kids. The men watched the end of the Georgia game, and the first half of the Stanford loss to Oregon. Good that the Dawgs handled Auburn so easily. Sometimes those running plays take too long to develop, and the defense has time to fill all the holes. Plays like that you gotta hit the hole fast.

Sunday we headed down to PCC around 2:30 for youth. I dropped C at Lenox, and read my Grisham book while waiting for her. Went into church right when the Falcons overtime was starting. Joel sat with us during the service. Later Ceil cooked pancakes. M had to do math, so I read more went to bed.

The ISM is down at Tampa all this week…last week he and his boss were in Miami. Marty went to work for one of his customers, and Matt found a job real quick. I wonder if Ginny had retired…her sales numbers dropped from Aug-Sept-Oct. The Ogre went up there twice last week. Gabe is staying to work outside sales under the OSM. All the contract business switched down here to our contract group. Soon it may just be me and Dialysis. We call Matt the "new Randy", since he does all the pricing with Debbie, and works with all the fabricators on new parts and costing. The quality lady, is quitting. She lives south of the airport, and the drive is killing her. Teflon is back from China, and is now the warehouse manager. Big Joe switched from shipping to second shift manager. You'll have to see what we've done to the new building, across from our little old office…and the 48 people crammed in to the sales offices here.

My "young" Matthew played baseball this fall, and all his teammates called him Cosmo again.
