We successfully survived Black Friday. My only foray into the mass of humanity enjoying the day after the feast was a quick trip to a store to replenish our adult beverages in advance of the Georgia vs Georgia Tech game. My experience was relatively tame, the strip mall to which I journeyed was mostly devoid of shoppers, unlike the Wednesday before Thanksgiving when the parking lot was overflowing with vehicles.
Axis & Allies on Black Friday

ovember 29, 2025
The Axis & Allies game was a rousing success. Six competitors worked through World War 2 and the final conclusion was a narrow victory for the Axis. I was charged with playing Italy. We played until the kick-off for the Georgia vs Georgia Tech football game and had to declare a winner.
For the Axis & Allies purists, it should be noted that the version of the game being played is not the same as the version I posted the image of in yesterday's blog. That version only provided for 5 players and because we had 6 combatants we made a late change to the version on the table.
For the shoppers in the crowd, it was a very successful day in the trenches. They reported large crowds of excited shoppers anxious to collect the Black Friday deals. I have not yet been so motivated to actually shop either at brick & mortar stores or online. Perhaps today.
