- - - - - It's a Weekend Thang - - - - -

Fridays are my favorite day of the week around here. I look forward to them, and urge them to come to me, faster!

Fridays are the day that our 8-year-old doesn't have any homework.

Fridays are the day that the 5-year-old goes to daycare, so that Dear Old Dad can job-hunt/cruise-web/read/loaf/vegetate (the vegetate thing is normal, according to eye-witness accounts).

Fridays are the day that the local paper carries a four-page advertising supplement from Fry's Electronics! THAT is the real reason I love Fridays. I eyeball the ads for laptops. I scan the ads for TVs. I smile at the ads for potato chips. I drool on the ads for bleeding-edge hardware.

And then.....I get to go to Fry's to do the look-see-touch-feel thing.

They've only thrown me out for drooling on the merchandise twice in the last 3 months - not too bad a record, d'you think?
