i think i'm the only non-retail person in the world working today...drag! actually, it's not so bad. there's an opportunity to really get some things done with the building as empty as it is...notice i said "opportunity" :-)
i forgot to mention...i got to go to the mn wild hockey game last saturday, for free, which is the only way i can actually afford to go. $65 seats, 11 rows off the ice. they got schooled by detroit, but it's a fun experience anyway.
got a good jump on the holiday shopping. now just waiting for some stuff to arrive. the apparent theme this year is "downlpay" the gifts. it's been tried before. we'll see what happens this time.
