Book Sale

I got up early to go to the Indian Prairie Library http://www.indianprairie.lib.il.us/ book sale. It started at 9:00 a.m. I got there about 9:02 or 9:03 a.m. and the parking lot was packed. There was all ready about 100 people grabbing books like you wouldn't believe. It was like a feeding frenzy. I didn't stick around long it was too crowded. I grabbed a couple of specially priced books in excellent condition. The guy in front of me spent over $100.00. That's a lot of used books. I was able to get a real nice National Geographic http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ book on the ancient civilizations. My youngest son has to do a three dimensional school project and it should have some good ideas for him. I got a used hard cover Calvin & Hobbes book http://www.ucomics.com/calvinandhobbes/ and a first edition of "Sacred Hoops" by former Chicago Bulls coach, Phil Jackson. I also got a VHS tape on handicapping for my Dad who is a 'broken down horseplayer.' I usually try to buy only books I think I'll read or something the boys will enjoy. It was too crazy to even take a close look at anything. People love bargains, me included. After I went to the book sale we picked up the boys basketball uniforms. One picked #4 and the other #40. One of their teammates was there when the doors opened so he could get #23 like Michael Jordan. Last night I went with my youngest son to see
"The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie." http://www.nick.com/all_nick/movies/spongebob/
He met 3 of his school friends and they really enjoyed it. Tomorrow we go the Chicago Bears game http://www.chicagobears.com/ We're leaving early to tailgate. It will be their first Bears game and my first at the "new" Soldier Field http://www.soldierfield.net/default.aspx The weather is supposed to be pretty decent for mid-November high 40's and sunny. They play the Indianapolis Colts and Peyton Manning. I hope the defense can stop him. We'll see. Next week is a short week only two days of work. Yipee!
