Last night was pumpkin-carving night...


Attempting to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time (a difficult task)!

Mesmerized by pumpkin guts.

Off comes the top!  Neil is much more interested in the corn.

Cool!
 
Big sister being silly.

Enjoying all the hard work

Funny, because I knew this memoir would be full of crazy stories of 40+ years of excess on the road with the original "bad boys" of rock and roll, and that was my main reason for buyin...

Don't ask me where I find this stuff, but after listening to the introduction, I have every reason to believe this guy truly thinks he's got talent.   Take a listen and judge for yourself.   Meanwhile, I must stop the bleeding from my eardrums.
