blank first, stay home, have sex and go out for dinner at 10:00. this is like annie hall when woody allen is like let s kiss before the meal. exactly. so blank first, then go out to dinner. don t go to dinner and be disappointed that you fell asleep when you got home. it s a weird pivot out of that one. today a 79-year-old ex-marine named hal faulkner died. i met him ten days ago. he was haunted by the fact in the 50s he had been booted from the marines for being gay. after being in the marine corps for three years. he got an other than honorable discharge. with the repeal of don t ask,
shoppers really knew what was doing. wall street journal had an interesting piece quoting retailers work backwards with their suppliers to set starting prices that after all the markdowns will yield the profit margins they want. the red cardigan sweater with ruffled neck was never meant to sell at a $68 starting price. it was designed with the discount built in. i bet you knew that, a.b. you dashed her dream. she just bought that sweater and thought what a great deal. black friday makes me chuckle. i do my fair share but i don t go to places 4:00 in the morning and get in line why does that the not surprise me. hanukkah is early and the season is shorter. and there is a very difficult recovery underway that doesn t seem to have begun. i actually wonder and i hope this year s sales are robust but i wonder if because of the fear of the antidotal stories about obamacare people are not cutting back
