Technically, in the U.S., this is a holiday weekend (Thanksgiving was Thursday, then came Black Friday and next up is CyberMonday).

This is our kickoff to the major Christmas/New Year's sales gateway.

The lights are going up, and red green and gold are everywhere to be seen.Because of the holidays (which involve a lot of cooking and some shopping for me), there is no new chapter of The Ex-Files.

However, I've put the entire 16 chapters below. No leaping from link to link today. I hope you...
