Sarah and I are taking off in a bit, rendezvousing with her girls in Dublin where we'll lunch, then head on up 441 sliding into the Classic City.
After being there every weekend during football season for 2 decades, I've become a slacker and this is my first time there all year.
Life got in the way.
Laurel, Sarah's 10 year old, is in the Savannah Children's Choir and for some inexplicable they perform on Saturday's during football season.
Plus we enjoy hanging out together on the weekends.
Sarah's girls are with their Dad during the week and home with us on the weekends so it's a big deal!
The girls recognize football Saturdays are special and wean UGA garb ... meaning they steal mine ... and Maddie even watches the game with me, learning players names and asking to go to games.
We'll hook up with my son Jeremy and Terenca tonight and will tailgate together along with dozens of friends.
The girls are excited.
I'm about to explode.
We don't have tickets yet ... my brother's using them this year ... but we're unconcerned ... Sarah's working on it but ... it'll work out.
Kristen and Chelsea, my daughters, want to join us but one has to work and the other's spending time with her husband ... an alumni of the North Avenue Trade School who refuses to return to Athens.
His loss! ... and I mean that literally.
Regardless, it's a time with family, friends, tradition and making new memories ... the things Thanksgiving's all about.
Happy weekend everyone!
