We did our "Black Friday" shopping today. We bought an artificial Christmas tree, a couple of wreaths, and three poinsettias. Now if the wife can figure out how to assemble how to assemble the artificial tree, I'm home free-I think. I'm watching a couple of neighbors putting up Christmas tree lights up high on their houses. Won't catch me up there.

Yesterday I met a couple of people whom we used to teach with outside the fitness center. They were in Denver for a AAU basketball tournament. Two weeks ago a I ran into a teacher whose husband I used to referee basketball and football with. Small world. They have a daughter here but still live in Casper.
