My job is almost 24 miles from my home and it normally takes me about a half hour drive to get there. When you live in a small town, you expect a commute for almost any job. The boutique where I work is in the middle of the biggest shopping area of about a twelve county region. Today, the last three quarters of a mile of that drive took 35 minutes. If I hadn't been getting paid, there's no way I would have been in that mess.

There are so many aspects to life. It's rich and complicated, and even the simplest of people is more complex than anyone can imagine. Each of our interests can shine like a jewel when it's in its own little box, but when they're massed together, it can be dazzling. I wanted my blog to reflect some of that intangible wealth.

Oh, you have courage. We have stayed far, far from Retail America today.
The only "shopping" we did on Black Friday was to have my mechanic fix my brake light!
Peace, Virginia
You would have had to pay me some serious money to make me go anywhere near a traditional retail hub (mall, Walmart, Target, ToysRUs) on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I worked in retail for eight years, and I know exactly why I wouldn't be caught dead in a mall on Black Friday.
Yuck! I know how that is. My commute usually takes about 45 minutes, but things can happen to turn it into 1 1/2 hours.
