Black Friday Remembered

Writing the previous entry sparked memories (horrible, horrible memories) of Black Friday's of years past. I remember standing outside Mervyn's one year, and my mom and myself were at the front doors, with an elderly woman and her niece or granddaughter just off to our left. The moment the doors opened, the little old woman pounded my foot with her cane and shoved- SHOVED her way past me and my mom and had the break-neck speed of 3 a marathon runner. I stopped to think to myself "if she is pretty mobile, why did she have the cane? Oh yeah, to pummel whoever gets in her way...".

I think that was the first year I had gone out shopping on a Black Friday.
