Some folks get up at the crack of dawn on Thanksgiving Day for a community race.  Some get up at the crack of dawn on Black Friday to start their holiday shopping.  And some try to outdo those folks by lining up to shop at midnight on Thanksgiving.

Next week, I'm planning a report on some of the unusual Thanksgiving traditions that don't seem to have anything to do with that first feast in 1621.  Whether it's bowling frozen turkeys, frying thawed turkeys, or passing up turkey for another meal altogether, we know there are a lot of offbeat traditions out there.

Tell us yours!

A study you'll hear about on Wednesday suggests that it may not matter whether "sugary" drinks are allowed at school; students drank them anyway when they weren't on campus.  So here's my question:  Should schools with bans start to allow the sales of sugary drinks again?  Or do you think a campus ban helps discourage childhood obesity?

As I type this, we're a little more than a week away from Veterans Day, but we wanted to give you a head start.  We're looking for your comments and your iReports (if you're 13 or older) discussing why it's important to honor America's veterans.

And be sure to tune in next Friday to watch our coverage!
