So an amazing Thanksgiving day yesterday, thanks in large part to my wife and to our guests. It is sad to think that people increasingly rush through Thanksgiving formalities to go to the mall and fight others for the last copy of Field Surgeon 6 - The Ardennes for the Playbox. It is as if the giving thanks part of the holiday is just something you do between the football games and passing the stuffing. A meaningless ritual like going to church on Easter and Christmas. I am sounding nostalgic and bitter, probably from the 18 trillion "Black Friday" ads that have been on T.V. today. It's as if those who did not shop get punished by having sit through the commericals. Anyway, I'd prefer to sound elitist, the other big gripe I have with "Black Friday" is, it seems so lower middle class and ignorant. In my mind the Black Friday shopper, over spends on the holidays to substitute for their lack of involvment and caring, in addition that shopper also has apparently never heard of the Internet. So an amazing Thanksgiving indeed and because it was Thanksgiving, the nice glasses came out and when the nice glasses come out, that means one thing, that's right port.
Happy Holidays
Dan
