Thanksgiving
Nov 25
Today was the first time in snowed in Bangor, Maine. Mom and Jack came up from Virginia Tuesday. It was good to visit with them. I got to spend a lot of time with mom.
I headed up to Dexter to have Thanksgiving dinner with the family; there were ~15-20 family members there. I had a lot of turkey, potatoes, squash and rolls… I also ate a lot of pie. I took a bunch of it home as well. After dinner we made reindeer decorations.
Last Tuesday was the US launch date for the Xbox 360. There were a lot of people at every store in Bangor lined up for 12+ hours. Best Buy had tents outside the store. I really was surprised that so many people in Bangor would do that, especially in the freezing rain. I was foolish and did not pre-order a 360, I thought I’d take my chance… I was not able to get one on launch since I could not camp due to work. I took Wednesday-Friday off and looked everyday without success. I am hoping that I can get one before Christmas.
