Army Post Road

     I was going to post a “happy thanksgiving” message yesterday but I was ushered through the process of getting ready to go to my sister’s so fast by my mother that I didn’t have any posting time before we left and then once we got home last night it was time to get caught up on tv watching.
     So happy Thanksgiving.
     This year I’m quite intrigued by all the shopping insanity. JellyFish.comis having smack Friday-24 Hrs of Deals. The jist is every 2 hours they have a new sale that starts off at regular retail price and then the price drops incrementally until they’re all sold out. Basically it’s a game of chicken with everyone else watch the sale to see who will let the price drop the lowest. In recent weeks they’ve had xBoX’s go for free. It’s pretty neat. The 1PM CST sale is a Nike SasQuatch driver. Earlier today they sold a Premium Xbox 360 for $265 (normally retails for $400).
     CNBC has been going on and on all day about the 5AM sales at the malls and BestBuy and CompUSA and they’re saying it could be one of the biggest day-after-Thanksgivings in history.
     I’m torn. I’d like to go to Iowa City and see Steve but I have a bad feeling it would earn a guilt trip from my mother. I find it amazing that I can feel guilted about something while I’m still just turning it over in my head? How dutiful-little-son is that?
