Today Is Not a Holiday


Happy Thanksgiving, by the way.

But today is Friday, "Black Friday" if you're a retailer, and for the rest of us it is a day of reckoning. Suddenly counting the number of shopping days before Christmas isn't silly. Suddenly, end-of-the-year deadlines have real and intimidating meaning. Suddenly my lectures to my oldest son about how he can't wear shorts outside really have meaning (yesterday it was 60-some degrees and today we're in the 30's).

At any rate, I hope very much your holiday and the ensuing weekend is full of things more pastoral (yes, even the urban pastoral) than the automotive.
