Lunch in Burlington

Lunch with the kids in Burlington, VT.

Pit Stop

We use this particular McDonalds bathroom every time we drive up to visit the kids. Every time.

Gross

Is carving up a pumpkin and making a jack-o-lantern the single grossest thing that we as a society do? No? Is it in the top 10? Yeah, probably.

Why do we do it? Specifically, why do I do it when our kids are old enough to have moved out of the house and we don’t have them here at all during the Halloween season?

I don’t know, but I still do it. Specifically, I just did it. Meet our 2024 jack-o-lantern. I am still thinking of a name for him. Smiley? Jackass? Putz? They all seem appropriate.

My beloved wife and I watched It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown last night. I completely forgot about the scene where Lucy and the girls used Charlie Brown’s big bald head as a template for a jack-o-lantern. Freakin’ hysterical.

My Civic Duty

One vote closer to removing the fascists again.

My Buddy

Just hanging with my little furry buddy.

Okay. It’s almost 10:30am and I haven’t done anything other than breakfast, exercise, and take out the trash. Time to start getting shit done. Let’s go, Robert

When?

I want to vote tomorrow morning before work, if I can. The early voting polls open at 8:00am. I think I can pull it off. I’m hoping my wife can go with me. If she can’t then it won’t be Friday because of work, or Saturday because of travel, so Sunday?

I won’t be able to play any guitar before work tomorrow if we go to vote. Friday might work. Saturday is highly unlikely. Sunday? Maybe. We’ll have to see.

I took these this morning after finishing my exercise for the day. I thought I might use one for the photo a day thing, but I went with a cat pic from the previous post.

Guitar noodling on Friday. Two days from now. Make it so.

Good Morning, Everyone

Hope everyone is having a fine Wednesday morning that doesn’t include an hour and a half in traffic.

Window

The weather in my neighborhood has been spectacular over the last few days. It was so nice that I opened a window while I was working today. The cats loved it.
