Travelled today from Fayetteville, NC to Greenville, SC.  Took interstates so wasn't driving around helplessly. 

Did errands:  laundry, straightened up car, stuff like that, chkdsk'd my laptop.  It was giving me troubles.  Think that fixed it. 

Went to El Jalisco (Mexican) for dinner.  Corona's is better.  I kind of like to visit restaurants I haven't been to before.  I've come to know the Greenville Yellow Pages Dining Guide quite well.

Shoeless Joe Jackson is buried at the Woodlawn Memorial Park.  Turns out, this cemetery is only 3 miles from where I used to live. 

Some fans had placed a bat and four balls on his gravesite.  The guy in the office said there is usually 12 or so baseballs on his grave.  Some change was scattered across the plaques.
Donna and I met at Stax Omega for lunch.  We chatted up a storm.  We were both wearing our favorate vacation outfits:  sweatpants, sweatshirts, and sneakers. 
I miss my work friends in Colorado (though, not necessarily the work).  I am glad I can share my trip with you all via this website.

It was very good to see Donna.
I found it VERY difficult not to ask about work, just as Donna found it VERY difficult not to tell me about it.  But we followed the 'sabbatical rules' and didn't talk about work. 
I'm off to LI for Thanksgiving and am not bringing the laptop.  Next update will be on Monday, 11/29.  Have a great Thanksgiving!
