Black Friday!

.

My apologies for not getting yesterday's blog entry up yesterday.  I had to be up at 5 a.m. for the traditional electronics-buying binge at Micro Center, spent the day working on the novel, and then went out to dinner with a friend.

But I'll have a photo of Marianne's Christmas gift posted sometime later this afternoon.


And speaking of the American vernacular . . .

Here's an exchange I witnessed yesterday morning, at the diner we always go to on Black Friday after buying electronics:

Waitress:  What do you want to drink?
Sean:  A cola, please.
Waitress:  A Coke?
Sean:  Sure.
Waitress:  Pepsi okay?
