It was the usual early Thanksgiving feast at Wellsville Manor today, and Becky and I trekked on down for the event. Jeff and Paula joined us, with Mercedes and Brenna. Evelyn was in fine form, and enjoyed the company.
After the party Becky and I drove up I-35 to Metcalf Mall so I could see about buying new lenses for my glasses at Lenscrafters. Suddenly, it was Christmas! Took at least ten minutes cruising the parking lot to find a space. Once inside, it was teeming with patrons and jammed with Christmas fare. Lots of booths in the middle of the aisles selling everything from watches to cell phones to calendars to whatever you can imagine.
So, I got some single vision lenses. I had already ordered progressive bifocals at the optometrist’s office last week.
We got home in time to watch the KU v. Oklahoma State game. We were sure the announcers were putting a hex on us by repeatedly referring to “the unbeaten Jayhawks”; but it didn’t work. We won, anyway; convincingly. This is most strange! KU has suddenly been catapulted into not only a respectable season, but one with national commentators talking about national championship and Heisman Trophy in the same breath as “Kansas”. Most surreal.
