Six Replies to Halloween Post #1: Too Early For Halloween?

Neato... I've seen a costume before where the person appears to have two heads, but that's not as good. Anyhow yes it is too early for Halloween. I feared it might take a month to get everything together. and I didn't want to order the cape and blazer online for 70 British pounds each. (Around $280 total? I'd be quite ashamed of myself)

Your costumes are awesome, BTW.

Thanks, ever seen The Prisoner? You might actually be old enough to have seen its original release, haha...

Haha nothin'! This from the newly 30 year old! Yes, I would have been old enough if my parents had any interest in BBC type productions. They didn't, more of the HeeHaw, Laugh-in set. I was more interested in Rocky and Bullwinkle at the time, myself. I've seen a few episodes since but don't remember a great deal except that it was weirdly enjoyable.

I saw The Prisoner back when they were showing episodes on the Sci-Fi Channel (of all places). I saw one episode on the Mystery Channel once, too, but never again. I enjoyed the show, although that ball thing freaked me out! :)

Christmas Post #14: Scared Of Santa

Pretty funny site devoted to pictures of children unhappy with being seated next to Santa. The hilarious aspect for me are the expressions on the faces of the Santas who are obviously thinking of everywhere else they'd rather be than here with this screaming little turd-dropper in their lap. Poor kids. Go »

Spain in a Week

We're back in the USA after a week in Spain with layovers in Paris and Amsterdam. Barcelona and Madrid were incredible. We saw more things than my brain could catalogue and looking at the pictures we took I find myself repeating, "Where in hell were we when I shot this?" Go »

Have I Mentioned How Much I Love My Wife?

I got a surprise visit from Amy Austin today. She was passing through Maryland on her way to Florida and took the time to call me from the road. I was thrilled that she thought of me being in the area and invited her to visit for what could only be a brief visit. Go »

Post Florida is Literally Murder

Brenda and I recently returned from a wonderful week spent in Sarasota with Scott and Kelly. Lauren and her husband, Jon, were able to fly down from ND to care for Olivia while we were travelling. The trip started as a mixed bag of positives and negatives, as the people in the row in front of us spoke incessantly and at an annoyingly loud volume but the young lady who shared our row was delightful.
