I almost never go shopping on so-called “Black Friday”. Part of that is because I am happy to contribute to Citigroup’s financial demise. (I will drink to their bankruptcy.)
Part of it is I have no use for the rampant materialism. I will buy gifts for relatives. My dad will get a subscription to a favorite publication. My stepmom will get a Starbucks gift card. My brother and sister-in-law will get gift certificates. My nieces will get gifts, possibly gift certificates. I’ll get cards for my co-workers.
That said, I have no use for these stampedes.


He Asked . . .
I said, “Yes!”
