We can say, with good certainty that most of us will not be working on Thanksgiving. Can't we?

I rarely have any calls on Thanksgiving Day but leading into the weekend with out of town families visiting in town families calls can be good.

If the phone rings, I will answer.

It is highly likely I will check email since Brazil has no knowledge of Thanksgiving Day.

I will pick up the mind-map to verify if the logic still flows correctly.

And yes, at 5 AM, me and 30,000 of my closest friends will assemble on Keen Road for the Turkey Trot 10K. The branding on my running T just might have to do with business.

And even when I'm not 'working' I'm considering how what I am doing could be leveraged to benefit business.

Until one is beyond cell service, it is hard to say, 'CLOSED For Business."
