Black Friday

Next year the Braves will celebrate 150 years as a franchise by wearing this patch on their jersey sleeves. They'll also be wearing the 2021 All Star Game patch.

Current view of what used to be the Turner Field blue lot, filling up with Georgia State student apartments and parking decks, with space carved out for a Georgia State baseball stadium. Ground was recently broken just north of left-centerfield for the new Georgia State basketball arena. To the south is old Turner Field, now Georgia State's football stadium.

Did I mention Rodrigo Blankenship won last Sunday's Colts game, booting a field goal in overtime to beat the Packers on the Fox game of the week. Hot Rod currently leads the Pro Bowl fan vote.

The 17 eating here today were spread out between three tables. Each table was in a different room. Six diners were older than me. Three more about my age. Youngest were recent college graduates, all at the other tables. Kinda like eating with a small party at a restaurant.

Thursday breakfast was the rest of the leftover BBQ, to free up space in the fridge. Hardly ate any supper Thursday night, just a piece of buttermilk pie. Leftover turkey, dressing, and mac & cheese for supper tonight. 

Saw an interesting show last night for the first time, I think called "The Wall". A young lady and his grandmother played together to win $1.6 million, the game's largest sum ever.

This morning I heard some beeping outside, and realized the garbage truck was coming on. Good thing I had on shoes. Had to race out back and run the dumpster down the driveway. The truck had already passed, but it saw me out in the street waving, and turned around. Worked today (Black Friday) from like 3:30 this afternoon to almost 9 pm. This no overtime sucks. So much to do. 

Hopefully I can run the virtual Peachtree Road Race tomorrow morning. Not the same running by myself. It's not the Peachtree unless I'm surrounded by runners the whole way. It's flatter here than Atlanta. Then Pitt@Clemson, Duke@GT, and GA@SC.
