Thanksgiving

My vacation has been great and entirely too short, but I guess that's the story of one's life after starting to work.

Wednesday was the annual "class reunion" as Mark and I call at one of the new restaurants on the Square. This year the crowds of people returning from college and new jobs elsewhere was at the Rome Street Tavern and Grill. I'd guess there were probably at least 150 people there and probably more. We all had a good time seeing old friends and making the obligatory small talk trying to find out what everyone is doing, etc...

Thursday we headed to Atlanta to my Aunt and Uncle's for our annual Turkey Day get together. The food was copious and great as was the weather.

Friday dad and I test drove a used H3 at Mark's dealership in anticipation of maybe buying one a year or two from now. It drove very well and gets pretty good mileage for an SUV with the offroad capabilities it has (20 mpg). Unfortunately it lacks storage space; I couldn't fit my golf bag in the back sideways. I could fold the back seats down but that's a problem if you have four golfers. While a pretty cool vehicle I've been spoiled by vehicles with ample cargo capacity. After the vehicle driving we went golf ball driving at the Par 3 course in Bowdon. Neither of us played well but we both had three pars which was pretty good. I shot 88 and dad 81. After golf I went to dinner with Mark and Shaun at Mellow Mushroom and then we met some folks at Loco's and then headed to Rome St. afterwards.

Today I went helped put up Christmas decorations and made a trip to Home Depot. This afternoon was the low part of the trip while watching Tech give the game away to U(sic)GA for the third year in a row to extend the losing streak to six games. ARGHHHHHHHHHHH. There is no reason we should have lost the game. In case you didn't hear the final score it was 15-12. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
