5 Things: Only 40 Shopping Days 'til Christmas

1. Only 40 Shopping Days Until Christmas:  Not to freak anyone out. (That's NOT including Thanksgiving, btw.)

2. Relax and Recharge Yoga: I could actually use something like this, unfortunately my dance card is full for Thursday evening, but if any of you check out Relax and Recharge Yoga with Chuck, 505 W. Hollis St., 5:30 p.m., let us know how it goes. Details here.

3. The Royal Housewives of Henry VIII: No, it's not a new Housewives series on TLC - it's a fun night out for those of you who are fascinated by the royals, Shakespeare and all things historical. Nashua Public Library, 7 p.m. Details here.

4. Speaking of Royals, Happy Birthday, Prince Charles: For those following along at home, today is the big six-four for Prince Charles, born on this day in 1948. Eldest child of Queen Elizabeth, Charles was christened Charles Philip Arthur George, and is the longest serving heir-apparent in British history.

5. Mmm: Pricey Bacon Triptych: No wait, this isn't about THAT kind of bacon. It's about the most expensive painting EVER sold at auction, by painter Frances Bacon. You can see it here. Would you shell out $142 million for art?
