Greetings from Canton

Sara and I made our cross-country trek yesterday, and are currently in Canton, Ohio. We started out on Thursday morning, driving to Athens, Alabama to see my parents. We spent Thanksgiving with them, and got up on Friday morning, and pointed the car towards Ohio. It was a long day of driving with thousands of other holiday travelers, all trying to drive as fast as they could, to reach their final destinations. We felt like we would never get here but, arrived shortly after 8:30 pm, EST.

We heard from Midori last night, from Rockford, where she was preparing for Regiment auditions. She said that she had a good Friday night, and was excited to be there. Drew is also in Rockford, with the Regiment visual staff, and was having a good time as well.

I dropped Sara off at Bluecoats camp this morning, after working our way through downtown Canton. There were alot of people there...looks like a very good turn out. Very interesting place, Canton. I passed the Professional Football Hall of Fame...that was cool. Now I am back at the hotel, passing some time, until I step out into the world of Christmas shopping, Canton style. Luckily, there is a very nice mall across the street from our hotel, so I will be mixing with the Cantonites, helping their economy with some Tennessee dollars.

I hope you all had a great holiday. We will be leaving for home on Sunday afternoon. Can't wait to see you all next weekend and hear your tales of Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping.

Love to all. M. Abe
