I drove straight home to Ohio from North Carolina. We had a larger Thanksgiving than usual this year. My aunt and uncle from North Carolina, my cousin from Los Angeles, and my other cousin and her husband from New Jersey were all there. We had the traditional turkey dinner on Thursday afternoon, and on Thursday evening my cousins and I went to see Casino Royale. It was $20 for 5 tickets, which amazed my cousin from L.A., since he usually pays $14 for an individual ticket.
On Friday we visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I hadn't been there in 10 years, but it was still pretty much the same. It was a good way to fill a few hours, though. On Friday night I visited my friend David, and we played some games on his new Nintendo Wii. On Saturday I went to the Mount Union football game, and watched them defeat Wheaton, 35-3. After that, I drove up to Cleveland to see my friends Angie and Tim. Angie had won free tickets to a comedy show at the Cleveland Improv. We got to the show about 5 minutes late, but the usher sat us at a table directly in front of the stage, which was awesome. It was the ultimate "fashionably late" arrival.
On Sunday, Angie, Tim, and I went to Tommy's for lunch, then I headed back to Pittsburgh. In just over a week, I managed to put over 1,300 miles on my car, which is quite a feat, considering that my car still has fewer than 27,000 miles on it. I really needed to get out of Pittsburgh for awhile, and I'm glad I did. Upon returning to a place after being away for a week, you see everything from a slightly different angle. I'm energized and ready to take on the world.
