Welcome
to the second annual Black Friday Blog Hop.
Today
is the busiest shopping day of the year. The day when brick-and-mortar retailers
make most of their money. So, am I out shopping? Hah. I hate shopping. Even
worse than shopping, I hate crowds. And today there aren’t just crowds. The
Mongol Horde isn’t half as scary as the shoppers descending on retailers today.
Those bargain hunters could give Attila the Hun himself lessons in pillaging.
My hat's off to
those brave enough to venture out at midnight last night or to those who camped
out for a week at Best Buy. I just hope you didn’t get
trampled by the marauders who left the concepts of fair play and
waiting one’s turn at home.
As
for me, I’ll sit here in my tryptothan stupor induced by yesterday’s delicious
turkey, dressing (especially, the dressing) and gravy dinner. I have to admit the best part was I
didn’t even have to cook. Thanks, Sis. Now, I’m going to indulge myself in my favorite occupation--reading a good book.
How are you spending
today?
Looking for something to read? Here’s
a little taste of Switched, Too.

It’s
Scott Cherella’s first day pretending to be his twin as commander of a
starship. In this scene, he depends on an alien, who is enamored with American
entertainment, to help him through the complexities of his first meal.
“I will eat here.”
Scott selected a corner table, away from those that were occupied. Once they
were seated, he nodded to his companion. “You may order for us.”
Drakus looked flabbergasted.
“But, sir, I do not know what you wish to eat.”
“Surprise me.”
Drakus shook his head
then pressed a small square pad flush with the tabletop. “Two hot selerias and
Mid-Day Repast for the captain.”
Scott settled back in
his chair. “Playing it safe, Drakus?”
Moments later, a robot
server rolled between the tables, a tray clutched in its metal appendages. The
robot set cups of steaming liquid in front of them then departed.
Scott picked up the
mug and sniffed the dark green depths. Fragrant, gingery maybe. He took a sip.
“Captain,” Drakus
began hesitantly. “I have noticed your speech is peppered with American slang.
I mean no disrespect, but you didn’t act or look this different before you went
to Earth. May I ask why you decided to come out of the closet?”
