Just a short blog post for today, Thanksgiving, at least here in the United States. I know Canada celebrates in October, but that’s not where I live. Anyway… At this morning’s spin class the instructor had a set list full of songs about being grateful, giving thanks and having positive feelings. It was an admirable,…
‘Twas the day before Thanksgiving and all through the store everyone was scurrying, trying to get more, For an ordinary dinner would not be enough this would be the day for to overstuff.

Surprisingly, only a couple of pictures, despite the Thanksgiving holiday. Earlier this week I caught Tevye “reading”. And yesterday I caught him getting the camera off the table.

I got an email from GameStop this morning. What with this being “Black Friday” I sort of expected it to arrive. As a member of the Power Up Rewards program I am on their mailing list and expect these to arrive. This one in particular rankles me though. Here’s the relevant parts of the ad:…
A lot of sentiment is being tossed about the internet the last week or so with regards to Black Friday and sales starting before then. Specifically there is growing backlash against stores opening the evening of Thanksgiving for sales. That’s all well and good, and I agree with that sentiment, but there is an additional…
