I didn't realize how busy I must have been. We will see how long this goes or whether I will make this page my home page.

went to Best Buy today for some last minute shopping. It was great. The parking lot was very, very crowded, but inside (99% guys - go figure), the store was not that crowded, the sales people were helpful (!) and they created a single queue for the registers with a guy directing shoppers to the next available register. The guy in front of me in line said the line was 5x longer last night. I don't suspect it will remain this organized through the day, but it really put me in the Christmas spirit.
