Black Friday Madness

Does mean Cyber Monday is sane?

Oh c'mon Dales, there is plenty of fun and love to be had at Christmas. I love the holiday -- especially the parties, the baking, the decorations and lights, the time with family and friends, and especially the relaxed time away from the office. It is often the only time of year when my clients do not expect me to be available for them, and the courts are generous in scheduling around, so it is some of my best down time.

I do my shopping on a continuous basis, mostly buying from local artisans, or from special places when traveling, or on things I find that someone will love. The only things I purchased on black friday were movie tickets because all the cousins in our family (my generation and the under 10-set) went out to lunch and the movies.

Sorry to offend your sensitivities, Guin.

Just a wee bit of dry humor.

I'm not offended Dale, just sticking up for what I believe!
