So, I had a very busy day at work today – since I was on vacation for the first three days of the week. No chance to get out during the day, at all. Further, I had a work-related function after work – which did not end until about 9:30 pm ET.

Much to my surprise, when I finally got near home, I saw that my local Modell’s was still open. So, I parked and jumped out of the car…and saw that they were closing in 45 minutes at 11 pm. Oh, joy – figuring I caught a break…but…no…

They had nothing left in the store. Zip. Zero. Nada. All the World Championship gear was gone except for maybe six hats and a handful of T-Shirts in sizes like XXXL.

Wow. That was fast.

They said that they’d be getting more in…and, I hope so, because, sans a few size 5 and 7 T-shirts that I was able to get for my kids, right now, I got…shutout. Goose-egg. White-washed. Oh, how, sad…

Then again, at least I was able to get something for the kids.
