Typical Halloween

Well, it's dreary and rainy today. That's about typical for Halloween.

Victory!

Bird remembered about the mail, but tried to go to the bank anyway.

It's going to be a good holiday.

Drat!

Bird remembered the holiday. Dammit.

If I'm really lucky…

…Bird won't remember that it's a holiday.

Bird is borderline OCD over the mail. She watches like a hawk and keeps a constant watch on the mailbox. The very instant she hears that mailbox snap closed, she jumps up like she's sitting on a spring and dashes outside. When the mailman is later than usual she watches even more closely, and usually goes outside several times to see if the mail arrived and she didn't notice.

One of my favorite guilty pleasures is not saying a word when she forgets about a holiday and obsesses over mail that's not coming.

I've got my fingers crossed that she won't remember today's holiday.

Happy MLK Day.

Ugh

It was only a three day weekend. Coming back to work should not be this difficult.

Woohoo!

Goat's letting me leave for the day. Lucky dog, lucky dog.

I might post a little sump'n, sump'n over the weekend. But don't be surprised if you don't see me until Tuesday.

I wonder if they were thanked in the liner notes?

Is it just me or does that Green Day song "Holiday" remind anyone else of Dead Kennedys "California Uber Alles?" That whole bit with "The representative from California has the floor" feels like something DK would have done.

I'm showing my age here, aren't I?

Holiday trivia

Today is St. Patrick's Day, traditionally the feast day for the patron saint of Ireland. The holiday is popular enough that it's celebrated worldwide by Irish and people who pretend to be Irish.

But did you know that Patrick was not Irish?

Patrick was a Roman from western Britian. His first trip to Ireland was when he was enslaved as a child. He escaped after several years and returned much later as a Christian missionary. It is of course in this later role that people remember him.
