Possible black friday deals

Well, I’m almost all done with teaching for the semester. I have some projects that always get pushed aside or postponed during a busy teaching time, so after Thanksgiving I’ll have to get back to work on those things.

I saw the Wookie Army in the Star Wars trailer. I know I’ll be [...]
