Recession? It's official

I got my email news alert earlier today on the big news. We are in and a recession and it's official.
OK, so who is really surprised by this news?
Not me.
I've been doing my part in buying when I can. In fact, we just spent loads of money Sunday at Borders in Springettsbury Township, feeding our hunger for reading. And there were lines a plenty there. Recessions aren't just one-day events. According to those who know, we've been in a recession since Dec. 2007.
