<\/p>\nSpringfield finally fielded a Lutheran High School, after at least two attempts while my boys were in the Lutheran elementary and middle school, and it has opened a thrift store to raise funds. So we visited at the end of its first week to provide funds since we’re not paying tuition. It’s a really nicely appointed space, more boutique-looking than most thrift stores, but the prices, at least for media, were pretty good.<\/p>\n
Here’s what we got:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I got two albums, Evie Again<\/em> by Evie (I told my beautiful wife that I am the biggest Evie fan in Springfield, and it might be true, and I’m not that big of an Evie fan) and Crystal Illusions<\/em> by Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’66. I got one DVD, The Bourne Identity<\/em>, since I got The Bourne Supremacy<\/em> last year<\/a>–the thrift store had all three, but I was not sure which I was missing, so I can go back and get The Bourne Ultimatum<\/em> if I happen to finish these two films sometime soon (unlikely). And I got two books: The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Tae Kwon Do<\/em>, which is timely because I am currently reading The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Karate<\/em> which I bought in 2022<\/a> and because next week, in our BJJ school’s striking class, the instructor is going to show some spin kicks which he said the tae kwon do<\/em> kids were going to like, and I need to brush up on the spin heel\/spin wheel and spin hook kicks to not look silly, and I also got Living the Martial Way<\/em> which is a former USAF guy writing about something something the ancient Eastern martial arts. I picked it up ’cause it was a buck or two, and it would be far more expensive at ABC Books.<\/p>\n My wife got a puzzle and some cook books, and we also came away with a throw blanket and a skirt (for her), and we spent $29 total. Apparently, they have more records (and other merchandise) than they can display, so I’ll probably visit every once in a while to see what’s new. Of course, even with but these two new records, I’m finding that I am about out of storage space, so I’d better pick up some 2x4s when the heat breaks before the autumn Friends of the Library book sale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Springfield finally fielded a Lutheran High School, after at least two attempts while my boys were in the Lutheran elementary and middle school, and it has opened a thrift store to raise funds.
