- I've never shopped on Black Friday nor will I ever.
- And there's already been a Black Friday shopping fight. Edit: A ton of fights! Including one from Saginaw.
- I think Mrs. LL and the Kids went shopping at midnight, but I didn't stay up to find out. I was exhausted.
- I ran the Fort Worth Turkey Trot yesterday morning, and it was fantastic. Cold but clear weather with no wind. (And shout out to the Bridgeport person who said hi to me in the mass of people after it was over.) I ran the 8 mile Dallas Turkey Trot for fifteen years or more but have abandoned it over the last three.
- A stranger and I actually fist bumped as we crossed the 10K finish line. And I initiated it. I don't do things like that.
- During the race, I ran by one home which had a freshly mangled "Wrong Way" street sign laying in its front yard. That was both funny and disturbing.
- Mrs. LL was up and cooking by 5:30 a.m.
- Did you see that Baylor coach Art Briles' brother has died? He fell and hit his head. He was 57. Briles has had his share of tragedies.
- Boy, did I get grilled about King's Spa at the Thanksgiving table.
- Another earthquake near Azle last night. So bizarre.
- "It looks like her clothes are made by Sherman Williams." - Random comment in the house yesterday during the Selena Gomez halftime show.
- Just when I was recovering from OSU's beat down of Baylor, now I've got to worry about the Evil Empire after its beating (41-16) of Texas Tech last night. And I'm not comfortable at all about Saturday's game against TCU.
- Mrs. LL discovered Coach Bro/Kliff Kingsbury last night. Calm yourself, girl.
- Fox 4 was showing live shots of various stores and shopping malls this morning and the places were basically empty. Seriously.
- I haven't watched a second of their season, but Brooklyn Nets fans are apparently worried that new head coach Jason Kidd has no idea what he is doing. And that wasn't predictable? (Although I don't want to rain on his parade.)
- If you had given me nine to twelve months to design healthcare.gov, I could have done it and done it well. And I'm serious.
- I watched about 15 minutes of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. With the exception of the occasional high school band, that thing is one long commercial disguised as floats. And, man, that thing is lip-syncing city.
- Speaking of, I listened to the Cowboys radio broadcast on the way home yesterday. Talk about sponsors. Domino's Pizza replay. The Sony monitor. The Star Power first down.
- Great moment on The Today Show this morning as they were interviewing the CEO of U.S. Walmart, Bill Simmon, about the decision to open on Thanksgiving. "Before I let you go," the anchor said, "Walmart International announced a new CEO earlier in the week. A lot of people thought it would be you. It was not you. Are you disappointed? Do you feel snubbed?" You could almost see the fire in his eyes as he replied back, "I appreciate your interest in my career. Thank you very much."
- I saw a billboard in Fort Worth of a lawyer who used to be fairly famous for personal injury suits. Now the billboard reads, "We Sue Bad Lawyers."
- A Tony Romo press conference after a game is silly: "We just need to work hard at practice and get better." He says it every single time. An RG3 press conference these days sounds like he is talking to a therapist.
