As we move into the week of Thanksgiving in the US, some of us start thinking about eating, family and football; not necessarily in that order. Others start thinking about shopping for the holidays. Next week is Cyber Monday and I think it’s a little easier on the feet and constitution than Black Friday. I would rather go online and go after all the bargains, rather than waiting in line and fighting all the...
