The Weekly Turbo: Powered through Black Friday
This week was filled with family and fun, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving or just took to the shopping malls for Black Friday with a posse following up the rear.
Whatever your choices, you may be still full and tired from the tryptophan or full and tired from the mall stampedes.
