People like to talk about how difficult it is to find needles in haystacks. Well, lemme tell yuh, I have found needles in hay stacks before, but I have almost never found one of those durn blue post office drop boxes if I didn't know where it was when I started looking for it. As part of filing some documents for a case, I had to mail copies to opposing counsel. I drove around for 10 minutes, stopped and asked a pedestrian for help, stopped at a restaurant and asked a waitress for directions, then FINALLY just went to the nearest post office. That was a hassle.
In other news, I am about to leave Little Rock for the lovely city of Shreveport, where I will "Kick Some Bird" and participate in their 23rd annual Turkey Trot! I'm very excited about this opportunity to kick off my "Joggin' 'round the World" program down in Louisiana! Unfortunately, the forecast for Shreveport and Little Rock is absolutely awful. I'm going to be running in thunderstorms, then driving through thunderstorms, then celebrating my Thanksgiving in, literally, freezing weather in Little Rock.
At least it will be eventful. In the past, Thanksgivings have been kind of boring for me.
Also, on Saturday, my sister is hosting a party to watch the Arkansas Razorbacks play the LSU Tigers. Seeing as how I'm somewhat of a Louisianaphile, I can't 100% root for the Hogs, but I'll be there. Folks reading this who know me and my sister should totally cancel whatever other plans they may have and come. I'm told that if any other teetotalers show up, I will be allowed to play at least one game of Diet Coke pong on my brother-in-law's beer pong table. The invitation and Diet Coke-inducement are not directed at anyone in particular. <whistles all innocent-like>
