BOLTON LANDING, N.Y. (AP) -- The rain had stopped, and the sun struggled to push through the clouds that hung over Lake George by the time Thurman Thomas woke up and made his way downstairs in the luxurious, wood-framed Adirondack home.
Thomas had slept in, running late in an attempt to eke out every last minute of what a self-proclaimed "man of leisure" considered his final day of summer vacation this past weekend. Soon, the motor home -- its finicky transmission repaired at a garage in Albany -- had to be picked up and packed.
Then would come the five-hour drive to Buffalo to visit family and friends: the trek marking the second-to-last leg of a journey to Canton, Ohio. That's where the former Buffalo Bills star running back will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
