This is usually one of the busiest travel days of the year, but instead of our usual flying, we're meeting the in-laws halfway and are thus driving out for Thanksgiving. The good thing about the four-hour drive is that we pass by a Sonic, good old-fashioned hamburger drive-in, with waitresses on roller blades, like you see in the old '50s and '60s movies.

As you may have seen in a few of the news stories, Black Friday is upon us, so we'll be scoping out a few outlets to see if we can snag ourselves some good deals. I've promised myself not to buy any new computers or parts, but you never know. There just might be a sale going on that's just too good to pass up.
