LET THE HOLIDAYS BEGIN

Running Thanksgiving: Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and in preparation of the damage I'll undoubtedly self-inflict on my stomach and digestive track, I'll be running in the Drumstick Dash--a morning road race benefiting one of my favorite charities, the Wheeler Mission. I hope to complete the 4.5-mile race somewhere between 55 and 57 minutes.

Shooting Santa: The day after Thanksgiving marks the start of the 'photos with Santa' season, which means that once again this year I'll be working in Santa's Workshop & Photo Booth at The Fashion Mall at Keystone at The Crossing (in front of Brooks Brothers and J. Crew). If you're out-and-about on the north side of town after 6:00 p.m. weeknights or on Sundays, feel free to stop by the mall for a quick snapshot with Santa. For more info on what it's like to work as one of Santa's helpers in a retail mall setting, see two of my posts from last year: From December 12, 2003, "Observations From The Mall"; and from December 29, 2003, "Perspective and Appreciation = Great Gift".

First Snow?: Finally, weather forcasters are predicting the first snow of the season for here in Indianapolis just after midnight tonight (WOO-HOO!). The complete forecast for today: Rain and isolated thunderstorms in the morning then showers and chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Some storms may be severe in the afternoon. Highs in the upper 40s. Northeast winds 10 to 20 mph. Tonight, a chance of showers and thunderstorms 100 percent. Much colder. Rain and snow likely in the evening with a strong chance of snow after midnight. Lows around 30. Northwest winds 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain and snow 70 percent.

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

"you can't just advertise that you have the flu vaccine and then not have shots available for people when people show up"

Funny thing is how much foresight went into that comment because it turns out you can do just that ... schedule flu shots and cancel.
