For the last five years i’ve sat at work at 5am on Black Friday and watched sadly as the Wal-Mart parking lot filled up with deal seekers, wishing I could be among their ranks.

Not this year my friends. This year I am the one making the work schedules, and I will be taking that weekend off to seek and hopefully find all those wonderfully cheap electronics that desperate retailers almost give away on Black Friday. I am on a quest… I can almost taste the adventure now. Mwah ha ha.

In case you wondered about the title, I was listening to the wonderful “Viva La Vida” song by Coldplay.

Shout out to (not for long) Big Dan as he recovers from his surgery.
