The second Thanksgiving that I was here, a friend coerced me into getting up at 3:00 a.m. to be in line at 4:00 a.m. to shop at a local store. I still haven’t recovered. This past Friday, my oldest son — I call this one the Wise Guy — was visiting from Toronto and we decided to simply cruise the mall in the afternoon. Still, it was a lot of walking and people to navigate, so I don’t call that a great shopping excursion. In fact, I ended up feeling worn and broken by the time I got home. Waking up for the next few days proved to be a painful experience. The pain in my right hip has...

Am I right? But according to Psychology Today’s blog, you’re probably making shopping decisions differently than you normally would – and you might end up with the wrong stuff in your closet because of it. We’ve all been there: Standing around in a crowded store, clutching the last set of pink mixing bowls that’s marked down 30%, trying to decide whether to seize the deal and keep our nonrefundable purchase, or leave it to some other shop...

We made the original recipe for Belgian waffles and it is worth your time! You will need to use yeast. You’ll need to separate yolks and whites. You’ll also need to let the batter sit for an hour. So brew your coffee and tea and plan for a wait. But once the batter is ready, you will have beautiful Belgian waffles in minutes. Prepare simply with a light dusting of powdered sugar. You don’t need syrup or butter on these guys. (Well there is a stick of melted butter in the batter anyway!) Enjoy your “black Friday” whether you’re out shopping or not!

Or because in 1989 I ventured on to the Houston freeway system on the day after Thanksgiving and developed a traffic phobia that persists to this day. Gifts can hurt… Read the rest on AOL.

Charlie. What do you get for the boy who doesn’t seem to want anything? Today’s Chicago Tribune captures this dilemma: Parents struggle with whether to oblige the child who desires nothing more than church directories, word puzzles, spinning toys or even cleaning supplies—all real examples from youngsters’ wish lists. Friends might see the child’s exotic interests as humorous or cute. But the youngster’s family recognizes that the obsession represents their child’s special need for a coping t...

It was Saturday night and we were having dinner at a restaurant on Mott Street, in Chinatown in New York. We’d avoided the whole Black Friday business/madness and decided also to avoid the crowds going to see the Christmas tree on Rockefeller Plaza near Radio City Music Hall. We’d spent the day around home, with a late breakfast and midday nap for Charlie, and then a bike ride. And then, we drove to Jersey City and took the PATH train into the World Trade Center site—there’s construction going on all the time and you can see some of it—-and then walked past City Hall and into Chinatown. Charlie had said no to any snacks, even after an hour-long bike ride...

You got the eat-a-thon on Thursday, the shop-a-thon on Black Friday, then the aftermath on Grey Saturday... But wait, it's not even over then! Because then there's the last mad dash to the malls on Sunday Bloody Sunday, before returning to work on Manic Monday, which coincides with World AIDS Day this year. If that weren't enough, Black Friday marked the first observation of Native American Heritage Day, which will occur on the day after Thanksgiving from now on. Speaking of Black Friday, the news about the Wal-Mart employee being trampled to death was just horrible. There's gotta be a way for humans to realize they are walking on other humans and for what? Just to save $75 on a television set... I just don't get it. This is why, from now on, I'...

Today is “Black Friday” here in the US, formerly known as “the day after Thanksgiving when people line up at 5am to charge the stores to get super-special-deal-discounts on holiday purchases”—as you probably guessed, we didn’t hit any malls with Charlie in tow. He has a general aversion to shopping for clothes, electronics, and anything in the closed confines of the modern mall. Once upon a time, we went to malls with pretty much the sole intent of walking around for exercise on a cold winter day, with the promise of escalator and elevator rides. Charlie’s interest—desire—to ride the likes of those has waned (and, too, some rather pai...
