Read MoreWhat a week. Supermoons, beaver moons and the kids are getting restless in the face of Thanksgiving break. We all need that break. To return home and ground ourselves in our people and accidentally eat our weight in pie.

As always, show us your greatest hits and misses by hash tagging #WDDI and if you cut the muffin, you might just be featured in our post on Monday.

Read MoreThis Wednesday at 3pm, Denton’s Emily Fowler Central Library celebrates this year’s 50th Anniversary of STAR TREK with Trekkie-themed activities and costumes, and no doubt lots of discussion about the recently released STAR TREK BEYOND.
