Black Friday in November.

 Not much a Black Friday shopper. Visited Winnie and Wilson yesterday to install the new hand-held shower head and Grab Bars for Winner's washer room (under the order from Daniel...) Job accompanied.  Bought a cheap Philip Shaver from Canadian Tire 50% off (washable too). This could be the last shaver I purchase in my life. I remember I had a Philip Shaver when start my study in the UK. After all, I am a Philip Shaver person. Wesley and Emily are on vacation in the desert Morocco Africa. Nice photos they have sent us. Should be back coming Sunday and going back to London. Wesley is a Doctor now. Presently, he could practice family medicine under supervision from another doctor. Hopefully, he could get the fully license soon. Jon have been let go by the previous company about a month ago. Not a good time to look for a new job. Trying very hard and watch a lot of TV too.
