Yesterday it was Thanksgiving. And I worked. I probably should have asked for it off, since no one else did (?!) and we had too many staff there. I did manage to leave almost two hours early, though, and hang out with Jason and Jeff's family after a speedy ride across town.

I guess if one is going to work on a holiday, yesterday was just about ideal, since it was slow, relatively quiet, low stress, lots of food to eat, and holiday pay to boot.

Riding my bike in the rain can be annoying sometimes, but it does help me appreciate when the sky clears up for a few minutes as it did this morning.

Calling today "Black Friday" is, I think, kind of depressing, seeing as this is one of the greatest testaments to how consumer-driven American culture is, as well as the fact that the moniker "Black Friday" refers to so many negative events in history (see Link below).
