- It’s a good feeling when the retired Army Colonel that teaches JROTC at Girlie Bear’s school shakes my hand and tells me we’re doing a good job raising her.
- Irish Woman had me out putting up Halloween lights this weekend. Apparently “I want to take a break from outside work” means different things to different people.
- It is worth it to me to pay extra money to have the gutter guys back out to put in another down spout and then spend a weekend fashioning a subterranean drain system for the new downspout in order to make my wife happy with the lines on the new front gutter.
- The van has risen from the grave again. My worst case scenario of a bad alternator didn’t pan out. It was a loose and corroded battery cable. At least that was what I hope was wrong with it. Once that was corrected, the battery metered out at the correct voltage, both when the engine was off and when the engine was on. Time will tell.
- Safety tip – Old aluminum gutters have very sharp edges.
- Those of you who have met me will have a hard time believing this, but I smiled so much tonight that my face hurts.
- After spending four hours at the Louisville Zoo handing out candy next to the “Disco From Outer Space”, I can report the following:
- I do not love the night life, and I do not like to boogie.
- I do not have a groove thing to shake
- I am ready to empty a halon bottle on the disco inferno.
- Ladies, if you’re taking your children trick or treating, it is not necessary to wear your streetwalker costume.
- I was amazed by how many kids had good manners tonight. My faith in the future has been reenergized.
- Being an observer of young children dancing under a disco ball for a few hours shows me that even at a young age, you can easily tell the extroverts from the introverts.
- Most popular costume for boys: Iron Man or Captain America
- Most popular costume for girls: Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, which surprised me.
- Coming home to warm biscuits and hot beef stew on a rainy night is wonderful.
