Black Friday, Shoulders and Triceps

I spent the morning recovering from the food coma of the Thanksgiving Day feast. I definitely ate for "Daily Gains" yesterday, as we say around here. Today, I am hunkering down, studying and lifting in the afternoon. I am definitely avoiding the insanity that is "Black Friday". Maybe part of it is that we live in such a small space and do not have room to store stuff. Maybe part of it is that we share a common, communal space here at NOLS Southwest and we really do not NEED anything. Either way, there has never been a draw big enough for me to wade into the consumerism melee of shopping the day after Thanksgiving. Good luck to those who do!

Today's quote is anonymous but quite funny:

"Black Friday: Because only in America, people trample others for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what they already have."
