Much of the day was spent printing out, addressing and stuffing our annual holiday letter, focused on Thanksgiving this year since we will be away much of the month of December. We also watched Ohio State defeat -- quite handily -- the University of Michigan on T.V. in the final football game of the current season ...
Lee also walked over to City Hall several times hoping to snare one of the "old" Braemar Road street signs being offered for sale beginning today (even though the replacements aren't yet fully in place, at least on our street). No such luck, however. On the first visit he picked up number 240 (!), figured it would be a couple of hours before he could get in to the display area to see if one of the two signs available was still around, and returned home where it was nice and warm to wait 'til noon to return.
On the second trip, he found the numbers only up to 95, went back home again for another couple of hours, walked back again around 2:00 p.m. only to find the available stock had dwindled down to a precious few -- only about twenty were still lying around waiting to be "adopted," not including either of those from our street.
The whole experience just goes to show how much affection folks here abouts have towards their neighborhoods and the city of Shaker Heights in general. Sort of makes you feel good all over -- even if we didn't snag one of the signs for our very own.
