BD looked great as a “diva” for Halloween. She had an especially cool hate, but she lost it in the dark before her first trick or treat stop.

It’s not every Halloween that starts with Sunday School and church. At least it helps keep things in perspective. Not that I’ve ever been one who thinks of Halloween as a “pagan” holiday. I just think of it as a time for kids to dress up in costumes and go trick or treating (and for [...]

This is our first election campaign with Caller ID, and I must say that I’m loving it. Whenever I see “Private” show up, I just ignore it, wait for the voicemail indicator, and delete the message. It annoys me no end that the “no call” lists don’t apply to political parties.
This week I saw a [...]

I find the end of the World Series as anti-climatic as the day after Christmas. I mean, what am I supposed to do with myself now?
Let’s see–today’s agenda was Bible study, Target, quick lunch with Mr. B at Quizno’s, and Kroger. Home for a bit, now I’m off to the library and the post office (shhhh, I’m [...]

Wow! 8 straight wins and the Red Sox are world champions. Maybe they’ll all use some of their World Series winnings and have Team Day at a mens’ day spa. Nah….
Watching games by yourself (BD was asleep and the cat doesn’t count) is not ideal. I called Mr. B three times during the game last night, and [...]

I survived attended BD’s chorus concert performance. Call me old-fashioned, but I figure a chorus concert should consist primarily of the chorus members singing songs. This production, which is also going to be presented at a Kentucky principals’ conference, was an odd concoction of modern dance, Orff instruments, and dialogue read from scripts. They only [...]

Has the curse been reversed? Having been the first major league team to come back from an 0-3 deficit, I can’t see the Red Sox becoming the second team to lose after a 3-0 advantage. The Cubbies, maybe, but not the Sox. Not this year.

That’s now the color of the hallway. I finished painting it just in time to sit down and relax with a beer and the Red Sox. Big question of the night: do I drink a Sam Adams (only if you’re over 21) Boston Lager in their honor, even though I don’t really care for it?
Probably [...]

Came downstairs this morning and realized we’d left the garage door open all night. The light was on, too, so I’m hoping that deterred any wild critters from renting a U-Haul and moving in.
Yesterday’s final wasp body count: 33. I’ve got a message in to an exterminator.
It’s picture day at school. BD wanted to put her [...]
