Dear Diary,

At last, school is out for the week and I can carry on with the Thanksgiving festivities. They began today with our 2nd Grade Thanksgiving Feast. We had a good time and the turkey was phenomenal. But the tryptophan got me pretty quick. I was zapped by the day's end.

But it wasn't anything a little pizza with a friend couldn't cure. I know what you're thinking. "But you just had a Thanksgiving feast!" Yes, it's true, but I was so focused on getting through it and making sure the kids were all accounted for and that we were able to get in our special entertainment before the parents took off with them, so I really didn't end up eating as much as I would have otherwise. Plus, it was just one slice of pizza.

At any rate, it was good because we got to talking about Bing, and nothing lifts my spirits better than Mr. Crosby. Then I rushed home to prepare for company that got delayed an hour because of the combination of rain and I4. Either way, it all worked out and I finally am beginning my vacation time.

Last weekend when I was getting ready to head out on my Cincinnati vacation, I got a curious call from an organization called "It's Just Lunch." You may recognize that name as the company that I told you about several months ago. This was the group that was willing to set me up on a lunch date with a perfect match...for the low, low price of $2000 per year. Turns out they're trying to drum up business in my area and are willing to give me a free trial. That's right. At no cost to me. Now, I have to admit, that under no circumstances would I ever pay the amount they were asking in order to continume my membership, so I'm just not sure what would be included in the free trial. And how long does the trial last? And why would I continue if they're having trouble drumming up business in my area? Just some questions that came to mind. Another one is whether that free trial offer is still good if I called them back. They said I needed to call before 7pm last Friday. Is it still worth the call?

Perhaps I'll call tomorrow...
