Greetings ....

For the past couple of years, I've been getting up early on Friday morning after Thanksgiving, and driving around town just to observe the Christmas Shoppers.

Sure enough, I drive by the Circuit City at 4:15 AM, and a long line of folks are waiting for the doors to open at 5:00 AM. Same for Walmart, K-Mart, Kohl's and others.

I do not participate in the actual ritual of post-Thanksgiving shopping. How about you?

Are you up early, participating in the mad dash to the store, or are you still safely tucked away in bed?

Thanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Sport

I also did some shopping at Circuit City for a few gifts for the kids. (At my key board). I purchased 3 SanDisk Sansa M240 1GB Digital Audio Players at $39.99 each for stocking stuffers, and the shipping was free!

I have travel expenses up the wazoo for 2007....one kid to Europe for 20 days.

2 boys to Arizona to during spring break and while they are there I take my wife and daughter to my dad's wedding....lump of coal anyone?

I don't think I'd be out at 4:15am just to see the shopers, hope you were on your way to work.

Whatever I don't order online, I shop for December 23rd or so. Seems to work pretty well. But, I think nowadays most gifts are purchased online. Don't you think?

I mostly shop online, it's the only way to shop!
Every year my wife asks for "Beautiful" perfume which I always forget can only be found at the nice stores like Macy's located "AT THE MALL". I always drive around in the traffic at all the strip malls trying to find it before realizing I've made the same mistake again and have to drive "TO THE MALL!". I HATE THE MALL. I would rather shank a 3 iron off the side of my car than go to the MALL.

Next year by God I'm buying the perfume in July and putting it up for Christmas.

    • Day 50: 1/30/2025 Back home again, today. Got to do some full speed swings hitting balls into the garage net.
    • Something just popped into my head, based on your mention of the folks who "know the rules" but are generally wrong.  Another comment I read was "the Rules ALWAYS said.....".  When I come across those I often go to  www.ruleshistory.com to see if the rules ever said that.  You can find every (almost?) version of the rules since the first set in 1744.  Its fun to return to the conversation and say "You're a little bit right, the rules said that at one time, but that changed in 1984.  You've been playing under the wrong rule for 40 years!"  
    • Hi, checking back in to see if any St. Louis area golfers get together for a round or three during the year.  I have recently dropped my membership in a local league this year to work on my game and meet other people.  I would love to hear from anyone that would be interested in meeting for a round in the St. Louis area.   Rick
