Black Friday

This would be me, not shopping.

Times past, I've been out there at the CompUSA or Best Buy or Target. Not today. Nothing I need on sale, nothing I want on sale, ten degrees Fahrenheit. I think I'll have some young person bring me a pizza for lunch. I have an album to finish this weekend.

And how are you managing the day?

Well, I will be going shopping tonight.

The vicissitudes of work have had me working at a customer site in Frankfurt, Germany for the past two weeks, including weekends and Thanksgiving day.

It's been tough duty -- but now I'm less than 24 hours away from wheels-up for home Saturday morning.

Last night we got a dusting of snow that has given the city a new look. Tonight, Frankfurt's Christmas market opens in the old part of the city. I intend to join the crowds, drinking Gluehwine, eating traditional Christmas junk food, and shopping at all the little fairy-tale buildings and kiosks that have been erected in the Romer square.
