I was wondering what was going on with this guy. It is such a shame they never found him. I wonder if I would keep looking or finally have him declared dead. I think option two if the evidence is overwhelming that he could not survive. We could always declare him undead if he should resurface.
Move Over, 'Cyber Monday'BusinessWeek - by Catherine Holahan Two years ago, a group of savvy marketers deemed the first workday after Thanksgiving the biggest online shopping day of the year.
