Halloween 2011

 We had a fun-filled Halloween evening.  Here are some pictures to share...

Last Friday Ava dressed as a witch for her school Halloween party
...and for Halloween night, she was a leopard.  She even slept with her whiskers still painted on.

Neil was Mater from the movie "Cars."  I've never seen him so excited!

Ready for tricks and treats!  As you can see, Neil just can't contain his excitement.


A little sampling of our night out...

We stopped by the police department, where McGruff was there in person.

We also stopped at the fire department.  My boy was obsessed with the fire trucks.

One of the homes in Baxter is famous for going "all out" for Halloween.  With a front yard like this (this is just a small part of the display), it is no wonder this is a popular place!  The street was packed with trick or treaters.

We had a lot of fun on our little Halloween outing.  Now for Thanksgiving... and snow, which they say is on the way.  More on that later.

My wife's 20th class reunion is next week in Texas.  We aren't able to go and I think she feels kind of bad about it.  However, on Facebook, one of her classmates posted a video of her in high school and here is a still shot of my smokin' hot wife about six years before we met.  Man, how gorgeous can a woman get?  I don't know how she made it out of Texas without a boyfriend. How did I get so lucky?  (When she sees I posted this on my blog she will file for divorce, so to my wife's family: keep in touch.  I love you guys.)

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.

Last night I finished a surprisingly excellent autobiography, Life by Keith Richards - the lead guitarist, principal songwriter and co-founder of the Rolling Stones. I say "surprisingly excellent," because let's face it... when you hear the guy talk you can barely understand a frickin' word he says (as evidenced by the "interview" below).  Heck, Johnny Depp based his character Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean off a character study of Richards - and Richards was such a good sport about it that he even made a cameo appearance in one of the movies.  Yes, years of drug abuse have seemingly taken their toll, but he can still think clearly and he can write very well - and yes, Richards wrote this book.  The "voice" is unmistakably Keith Richards. 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...
