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! :)

The New Store

At a local mall, I overheard an interaction between two budding entrepreneurs and an old man strolling along with a cane. A new store announced with a sign, "Opening Soon!" and inside were the two guys opening a few boxes to stack their wares on shelves. Go »

Where's Joe The Plumber When I Need Him?

Screw plumbing! This is friggin' ridiculous. When the toilet in my bedroom bath developed a leak, I assured my wife it was a simple repair to replace the fill valve. Go »

Vacation Tip #2: Maybe you're into sharks, pun intended. I, myself, am not. For the longest time this has been my greatest fear; being eaten alive by a wild animal. Go »

Let Loose The Pigeons!

I got a phone call today from my Service Coordinator of Prince George's County officially welcoming me and my daughter, Olivia, into the Autism Waiver program - a state funded program intended for families with an autistic child offering funds for state approved services such as Aqua therapy, Occupational community trips, Speech therapy and even respite for Brenda and I. This has been a nine year wait since getting a diagnosis for Olivia at age 2. The waiting list is horrific. Go »

We took a real vacation this year albeit the travel was not a great distance. We packed up and went to Williamsburg, Va. It's a three-pronged vacation place that includes Busch Gardens amusement park, Water Country, USA and Colonial Williamsburg itself. Go »

Things Remembered

When I was in kindergarten, a girl brought a doll to class. It was so pretty that even the boys liked it. Everyone played with it but I was the one who broke it. Go »
