Thanksgiving, Black Friday Musings [ACCU BLOG]

NOTE: This blog was previously published under the [AccuWeather.com Community] blog at http://community.accuweather.com/ ( now http://weathermatrix.accuweather.com/ ) but has been absorbed into Jesse’s main blog for archival purposes.

We’re about to head to my mother-in-laws for Thanksgiving Dinner (Lunch), a yearly tradition (she lives only 25 miles away). But before I start thinking about how satisfying that turkey, gravy and potatoes will be, a couple of observations:

This morning, I bought everything I wanted from Best Buy’s Black Friday sale online (hats off to them). So they’ll be no getting up at 3 AM to stand in line this year.

– Several years ago, I stood in line for 7 hours on Black Friday at Best Buy. I didn’t write a blog then but I emailed the story to several folks, I’ll see if I can find it and post it here.

– I am out of the office until Tuesday but I will continue to blog. More details on all of these points later.

– Enjoy your Thanksgiving, eat some good food with friends and family.
