I'm off on a long weekend relaxing and enjoying the ocean. During a moment of temporary insanity, I decided to drop by a few of my favorite stores. In the midst of my adventure, it dawned on me that it's Black Friday. I'm sure that should be changed to Black and Blue Friday. It was entertaining

I would like to add my experience to Lori Cain and Debbie Gartner's recent posts about blogging, or re-blogging posts with copyrighted photos or graphics. Obviously, none of us would purposely re-blog someone's post if we thought we were going to be sued by a copyright holder, but it happens. Th
