Well, I made my contribution to the recovery of our economy with some Black Friday shopping. Amazon slashed the DVD sets of The Shield to $16, roughly 20 bucks cheaper than the usual discounted price. I couldn't resist that, so I ordered the first six seasons. I've actually never seen an episode of this series--which just wrapped up its final episodes--but I have heard great things about it. Who knows when I'll have the time to watch all of these DVDs, though!
