Holiday Shopping

Published November 26, 2007 5:00am ET



Well, I’m back at the drawing board after spending my Thanksgiving vacation with family down in Florida. After traveling most of Wednesday and gorging myself on turkey and all the fixings Thursday, I wanted to spend Black Friday as far away from a mall as I could. In southern Florida, that means the Everglades! So, while millions of Americans negotiated piled-high shopping carts and tested their patience in packed checkout lines, I was speeding across the swamp on an air boat and muscling down gator nuggets. I’ll get around to holiday gift shopping sooner or later.
