Michael,

In our little town after a trip to replenish the refrigerator...no black Friday for us, and a walk on the beach no doubt...We let the professionals shop, and we sit back and enjoy each other and our cats. We shop on line...LOL, wishing you a great Friday, A

Hi Michael - I seriously doubt we'll have any money left for shopping after we get back from this trip - it's apparently always Black Friday here. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Michael, no Black Friday here...the crowds drive me insane. Small business Saturday for a fee things though, always try to support the local economy. You're definitely the agent to call if anyone in the Pasadena is looking for a new home, they'll be in very competent hands.

Good morning Michael, I will be catching up today on movies and staying away from the crowds, I don't have buyers this weekend and I'm just going to relax and enjoy some leftover. Both of our teams won yesterday so in all this has been a fab Thanksgiving Holiday. Have a beautiful Black Friday and even better weekend.

Alexandra and Ron -- do you mean another trip to the Farmer's Market? Wherever you go, we benefit from the photos you capture.

Nancy - enjoy your time in SoCal this weekend.

Endre - so many different options to discover new small businesses or re-visit some old friends this Saturday and throughout the season and year.

Roger - End the Madness Sunday could be a great advertising vehicle.

Dick - yet another clue...

Amanda - I'm avoiding Black Friday crowds too -- I saw some early shoppers out last night on my way home -- I kept driving by.....

JK - the few rain drops(I guess LB had quite a few this morning) can put drivers on alert -- stay safe, have fun.

Bob - a great movie day --- excellent idea.

Hi Michael, no black Friday for me, I rather pay full price than jump over boxes or get pushed around. I will start my shopping next week. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Michael, I ordered coffee online with the Balck Friday discount but stayed away from the stores. We ate some leftovers and are done with that. Now back to a normal routine.

Hi Beth - apparently you are not alone -- I read a study/survey that stated an overwhelming majority of people said they were not going to participate in shopping the day of or day after Thanksgiving.

Laura - I went to the grocery store - does that count -- no crowds in sight -- easy in, easy out.

Debbie - online is good and you can shop in your pajamas too.
