Black Friday

So Thanksgiving was great – with a household full of friends plus one fat black cat who decided she was NOT HAVING ANY OF THIS NONSENSE, no, not even for the glory of stealing a nibble of pie. She came out eventually. And then she tore around the apartment like a little kid at Disney World for a couple of hours, burning off all that energy she'd built up while in hiding.

Cats. Who can fathom?

I was very glad to see everyone, of course, and the food was outstanding – so really, it's no one's loss but the kitty's. I did not personally create very much of the meal; mostly the noms were provided potluck style, with several bottles of wine which RATHER MYSTERIOUSLY appear to be missing this morning. And by "missing" I mean "I'm pretty sure we killed them all off," or that's what my low-grade headache is telling me.

Headache aside, I'd love to be out there fighting the good fight, hunting for Black Friday bargains – but unfortunately, I have a whole lot of work to do. So instead, I will help YOU with YOUR Black Friday shopping – by reminding you that books make a great gift and oh look … I write them. And I have a new one out. In which you might be interested. Maybe. If you are reading this.
