tis the season

no, it's not Christmas yet. first we have to survive the halloween season around here. In that spirit, sorry for the pun, we are going into the big city this afternoon to visit with one of my friends from way back. While there, we'll be participating in a little costume party on the Common. I have a couple of costumes from which to choose, so I believe that I'll be donning the giraffe this time, 'cause it keeps me nice and toasty. If the past couple of weeks are any indicator, I expect that this will be a good opportunity for people watching. That's all for now, I'm starting to get a "nap time" vibe from my folks.
