• Anderson had to be at Raymar earlier today than last week, and since it was just 15 minutes earlier than the week before, I figured that I would still go with him. Of course Campbell and Keaton love being at Raymar and love going early. They don't mind getting up to go, and as soon as we pull up, they hop out of the car.
• Meanwhile, I sit in the car until the last possibly minute. I did have my book to read, and it was kind of pleasant until it started getting too warm in the car. It was a hot day, and even though Raymar usually has crazy wind, we don't get any of that in the concession stand so it did get a little warm today. I figure (and hope) that this is the last hot day of the football season though.
• Campbell and Keaton worked the concession stand, but Whitman also worked-and man, it is so good for him. Having to talk to people, deal with the cash register, and making change-and he is doing so well. We have practiced some at home, but I really think that he also enjoys it. 
• When the games were over, Robby and I headed to Hot Springs to go and have a tamale at McClards. We thought about just getting a half, but we ended up getting the whole thing. This was a good thing because we ate pretty much all of it.We then did a few mystery shops to pay for our tamale before heading home. 
• We did stop to get a peanut butter shake on the way home-and we were disappointed. They kind of lost of our order, so we had to wait a while, but then our shake was more like chocolate milk instead of ice cream. I mean, we still drank every bit of it, but it just wasn't what we had been envisioning.
• We made it home in  time to watch the rest of the Razorback game. I had listened to some in the car, so I read my book until I could keep my eyes open no longer. Then I did get back up to hear the last few minutes of the game. 
• Now, people are showering, Graham just finished a run, and I'm trying to figure out what I should do for the rest of the evening-be productive or no?
