Beat the Rush

I did it. I just barely squeeked by, but I beat the rush. Now, I'm not talking about the rush to get one of these new fangled video game player machines or the upcoming holiday shopping stampede soon to invade your local shoppingplex. Nope, I beat the rush to take down your halloween decorations before Thanksgiving. So, while the rest of you are slaving away tommorrow un-Jack-o-lanterning your porch and cleaning out cobwebs from the spooky reaches of your cellar, I'll be pre-Thanksing in a nice comfy lazyboy.

Tip of the Week: If you ever find yourself in a parking lot confronted by a gang of teenagers engaged in a brutal game of Monopoly, don't think that Free Parking or the Boardwalk will save you. They won't. I know from experience. (I'll just leave it to the reader to work out the details on that one...)
