Black Friday is just a few days away! If you were like me you, don’t really give a hoot and would rather be fishing, but now that I work in the retail industry, it basically means that I will be up early and home late. However, If I didn’t have to work, I’d say that this weekend would be a perfect day to go fishing (if you can get away from the wife and kids). If you can pull it off, think of how sweet it will be standing knee deep in cold water while your poor buddies are stuck shopping!
You might have to come up with a plan to get out of the shopping/kid watching/car parking/bag holding/credit card swiping/chaos that is Black Friday weekend.
Plan 1: Be honest with your significant other and tell her how hard you’ve worked and how hard you will continue to work and you just need to go fishing instead of shopping. (I doubt this will work)
Plan 2: Suggest that you brave the midnight sales and get your deal shopping done by 6am then, drink some red bulls and hit the water while the wife and kids sleep. (might work, but you may also fall asleep in the river)
Plan 3: Hire a baby sitter to watch the kids, while the wife shops and you go fishing. (Good luck finding a sitter this late)
Plan 4: Lie and get sick, think back to your childhood days of faking it so you didn’t have to go to school. But you better up your game, cause you know your wife is wise. (You will need an Oscar winning performance)
Plan 5: Convince your wife to do all of her shopping online. This could actually work.
If you have a better idea, let us know. If you do get stuck going to the outlet malls in Sevierville, drop everyone off and come over to the shop and watch some of our new fishing DVD’s while you wait. Good luck to everyone and I wish you all safe adventures on this Black Friday Weekend.
And of course have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
