...and I can't sleep. Too many things on my mind, so I am up writing instead of sleeping.
Here is something I can do while I am unable to sleep: Announce on my blog what I am doing and what my son is doing for online shoppers today, Black Friday.

It is "Black Friday" already, and I know the stores are not open yet but people are out there in the world standing in lines waiting to participate in various stampedes in order to bring home all sorts of things. I went to a Black Friday event one time, back in Los Angeles. I mostly did it because I wanted to have the experience of it. I have never been that much into shopping, and the idea of going out into a big mob of people in the wee hours of the morning waiting to crowd into a store and try to grab some things marked way down before someone else gets a chance to ... that just isn't my cup of tea.
Not that there's anything wrong with it. It just isn't for me.
But I did do it the one time, to see what it was like. I almost didn't go, because when my alarm went off I decided I would much rather go back to sleep than to get up and go out in the cold dark morning air. Before I could fall back asleep, however, I remembered my sense of adventure.
I'm glad I did it the one time, because it was an adventure.
Right now, I wish I could get some sleep.
Happy shopping,
