TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, November 26, 2012

Greetings Infomaniacs,

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and a fun weekend. Did anyone do any Black Friday shopping? I have actually never gone shopping on Black Friday. I just can't fathom finding any enjoyment from waking up that early to stand in line and fight the crowds who are all on the hunt for bargains. However, that is just me! I know many people who look forward to going every year, and I am glad they have a good time!

Enjoy!
Melissa
