A date which will live in infamy:

• Twenty years ago this week, I was contemplating my first move to Charlotte, not realizing that it would be delayed by several months and would aldo involve a four month detour in Myrtle Beach…
• Eighteen years ago today, I had a runaway skate rat living under my roof…
• Six years ago today, I was excited about Cinderelmo…
• Five years ago this week, Duncan and Rick were visiting, and I did naughty things with two boys I picked up at the Powerhouse…
• Four years ago today, I was suffering through a prolonged absence from my boy, just like I am now, and I was expecting to see my mom over the weekend, just like I am now…
• A year ago today, it became semi-official that we were moving to Charlotte soon. And some people didn’t believe it…

I made my annual trek to the mall today. I hate malls, which is why I generally only visit them as needed around Christmas the holidays December. But as malls go, Carolina Place isn’t a bad one. It’s more mid-market, not all pretentious and foofy like Southpark. And people aren’t getting shot there on a weekly basis like at Eastland…

I got some of my shopping done, but the best find of the day was that the McDonald’s inside the mall has its McRib combo for about thirty cents less than any of the freestanding locations around town…
