As my fine feathered friend above laments, yesterday was Thanksgiving, a day when families reunite and give thanks for a bountiful harvest.

Today is Black Friday, a day when families break apart again and rush into the early morning hours in search of treasures and gifts.

But for those couple of you not currently shopping, or for those wanting something to read while resting your aching feet upon returning from the malls, below are a few reading links.

Cheers.
