How much longer till Jack is back?

So the Civee and I went to Target Saturday for no reason at all. The big surprise wasn’t that the store was practically empty. The big surprise was seeing the 24 season DVD sets on sale for $16 each. They only had a few copies of Season 1 left, so naturally I snagged one.

I’m amazed at how dark the sets are. And how Jack knows this emotion the rest of us know as “happiness.” That won’t last long.

Speaking of 24, the next day starts in January, and Fox is starting to run promos:
