My Weekend Summed Up

A missed three-pointer at this past weekend's Gobble Wobble not only sums up my weekend but puts my entire year in a nutshell.

Come to the Gobble Wobble this Saturday, November 18

The Oddball Foundation will be giving away a free turkey for Thanksgiving and other prizes this Saturday on November 18 at Harold L Qualters Middle School in Mansfield Massachusetts from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

I'll be emceeing the day, but the event comes together with the work of Oddball Foundation's Jason Wright.

This Week's Friendly Reminder

I haven't been photographing much this month, so I'm stealing this picture from Jennifer Martelli of a craft she bought at the Oddball Festival yesterday.

Eric Salt at the Oddball Festival
