Black Friday

I wouldn’t call it black, but more of an oppressive gray with silver gilded pockets of sporadic rays from a traversing sun Friday. And we didn’t go shopping.

Overcast, more in the silver spectrum, and continuous flurries should dominate every Winter. The clouds keep the nights warmer and the flurries the landscape white. Thanksgiving was with family and this picture from years past is near identical to this present holiday. No one went shopping after the feast. A good Black Friday is getting up and finding oneself not constipated.

Thanksgiving was late this year but many events, like the Christmas music, are coming early. The infamous Santa Rampage, receiving occasional news coverage, will be December 6th. Yes, a mere week away. It is also Global Fat Bike Day. They went global people. The Lapham Peak Fat Bike Series has begun. Their second race is the evening of December 4th; you’ll need lights of course.

The Bicycle Federation is also having a holiday sale on their promotional products. The next Metro Mountain Bikers meeting will be at there facility in Milwaukee on December 9th.

Many people use this weekend to put up the Christmas tree. When I was young a lot of families waited until Christmas Eve. For us it’s time to start on the Christmas cards. I fear my list is incomplete. Holiday blessings to all in this wondrous season.

The $76 question (it’s getting up there): What are my three most favorite WORS races? Yes, I’m keeping with this question. Check out the Charity Jackpot Page link in the sidebar to possibly triple the amount.
