Hey Everybody!!
Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving. I’d love to hear about it.
Today is “Black Friday”. Joy got up and went to Wal-Mart in Brunswick, GA. She got there around 6:00 AM, an hour after the doors opened. It was a mad house. She said the entire parking lot was overflowing out into the grassy areas. When she got in, the lines at the cash registers were backed up all the way across the store, down the front aisle, past the pharmacy section.
They had some 7″ Portable DVD Players for $49, I think. They were locked up in those glass cases, so you had to wait in line there, too … which stretched way across the area.
Joy didn’t buy anything … no way she was waiting that long. But she said it was WORTH IT, just to see the craziness.
How ’bout you? I saw that Los was already done w/ all his shopping by early Friday AM, and saved more $ than he spent!
Also … for those who are somewhat local?
I’ll be doing a concert with a 5-piece band tomorrow night (Saturday Night) on Jekyll Island, kicking off their “Holiday Island – Lighting of the Christmas Tree” event. We’ll do about 40 minutes of praise and worship music, followed by another 30-40 minutes of Christmas carols. The only thing topping that is Santa coming in to light that big ole’ tree, followed by what I think is one of the best FIREWORKS DISPLAYS all year.
Come throw some of the “snowballs” (but not at us on stage, right Shannon?) and join the party – 4:30 – until.
Share your “Black Friday” stories and Holiday Plans!

I opted out of Black Friday this year. Last year, I stood on line for a Wii. Nothing this year. We’ll do most of our shopping on-line.
My wife works part time in one of the stores in the mall. It was “all-hands-on-deck” today, so she was at work until 1AM Wednesday and out the door today at 4:30AM .
A couple of years ago there Circuit City was selling DVD players for $29. They had also advertised in one of the community papers VCR’s for $19. There was one woman – who looked like Mabel King – with (no lie) three VCR’s under each arm. She’d been in line about ten minutes when they announced “two per customer” on the VCR’s and DVD players. I thought she was going to kill someone!

No worries here! Didn’t do “Black Friday”. Spent the day finishing up on food plots at “Alpha”. Great to have you guys home for Thanksgiving day. Will definitely activate the 4-wheeler for the kids for Christmas.
