Electronics abounded during the down-time leading up to our Thanksgiving feast. The table was astrewn with all the pre-Christmas sales going on as THIS year Jase and I were going to go shopping on Black Friday with Bryon and Denae (a first for us!). Once we had our deals scoped out we decided to visit Toys-R-Us for a netbook and other odds-n-ends.
Well, we waited in line for over 2 hours that night...it was freezing! Didn't end up getting a ticket for the netbook, but as the our line started to enter the store a mob of last-minute shoppers tried to push their way in at the front of the line ahead of us! Well, we were all frozen in shock (literally!), but Bryon took decisive action. He rushed to the front of the line and, single-handedly, confronted the mob. Pretty soon we were all yelling at them to get to the back of the line. The so-called security guards were so thankful for Bryon's help that they gave him a ticket for the netbook and he gave it to us! Well, that would have been the end to a pretty great story, except that the netbook didn't work and no amount of computer savvy helped (Jase and Denae were both working on it for some time!). So, the next day, we got to visit the toy store again to return it. Black Friday next year? Um....no.
