Friends, have a wonderful Thanksgiving today. My oldest daughter and I will be celebrating the day together with a yummy dinner near the beach. The other kids are with their father this year, and while I miss them I'm happy to report that I've already talked to them on the phone this morning and they're having a good time.

If you're brave enough to go out Black Friday shopping I wish you good luck getting those deals. And if you, like my daughter, works retail this weekend I offer you prayers of patience and sanity.
