My idea of Black Friday is to remember the times when the Friday after Thanksgiving meant Allen and I were getting on a plane to fly down to a warmer climate than northern Michigan — such as Montserrat — and spend ten days storing up Vitamin D for the coming winter.
If you go out shopping, patronize your local vendors, don’t spend too much, and try to remember where you parked.
If the options were breaking my kneecap with a baseball bat or going shopping on Black Friday I’d head straight for the bat. We decided we’re pretty much skipping the holidays this year.
