HPLD closes at 5 Wed. and all day Thurs., partly so our staff member Doug can watch the Cowboys...give it their best on Thursday. Maybe this Cowboys Super Bowl Collection DVD would cheer him up? Huh...you know how when you look at a DVD, you can SEE when a movie is really short?

We'll be closed at 5 pm next Wednesday, Nov. 26, and closed all day Thursday, Nov. 27, a day on which the Cowboys play. Should we pull together and buy our Cowboy fan staff member Doug this (VERY) vintage shirt from the last time the Cowboys went to the Super Bowl?

Ugh, if you're thinking about writing one of those "Amazon is better than libraries" articles, maybe save it for a holiday dinner rant for your family and spare the rest of us your silliness.
