Them's Fightin' Words 'Round Here

For those of you who don't know this already, Mark is an NC State graduate. Baby Blue rarely graces the threshold of this house. In fact, I think I can count on one hand the number of times the boys wore it as infants. Sam's "medium" blue golfshirt for church gives Mark the "heebee geebees" every time it's worn.

Well, this morning we received a shocking piece of literature in the morning paper, the new "Online Learning" schedule for my alma mater, Western Carolina University. Behind the Western Carolina logo on the cover was a faint, but recognizable, series of three letters.....UNC. And underneath the logo were the words " a University of North Carolina Campus".

On a happier note, Claire and I are recovering from the stomach bug that hit us yesterday. The boys are with Mark attending worship and preparing Thanksgiving meal boxes for needy families in our area. Sophie stayed here to help me.... she said, but she's on her second cup of hot cocoa and there hasn't been a ton of helping yet.
