Oh, a cool thing happened on my walk home yesterday. I was walking past this pack of high school kids with Dylan in the stroller and they were all chanting "Obama's gonna wi-in! Obama's gonna win-in!"
So I was grinning when I walked past them and one turned to me and said "You voting for Obama too??" And I said "Hell yeah!" and they all started cheering.
These kids were all obviously too young to really be voters, but it was still damn cool to see them so worked up about it.
And Dylan now has "Obama" down pat when you ask him who he's voting for. If I had a camcorder I'd put it on Youtube because it is TOO CUTE FOR WORDS.
Mac is constantly growing, so I am stuck with buying for him.
If he gets a little bigger he can start wearing Emmett hand me downs.
Wow. Switched out half the white flour for whole wheat and those were some tall pancakes.
The costumes are out here at work, and someone is dressed as a sumo wrestler! (It's a plastic all-body costume, complete with sagging man-boobs and the loin cloth.)
We also have a beaver, a deviled egg, a zebra and her little toddler girl who's a skunk, and a few witches.
(The next department over is made up of mostly 20something contractors who like to party together, so getting kitted out in full costumes isn't a stretch for them.)
There are a couple of people who would dress up on Halloween but they were both laid off yesterday.
My costume is still in my drawer - haven't seen anyone else dressed up here yet. We are supposed to have a "costumed pot-luck" today - so who knows.
CJ is all jazzed about being the one to answer the door and hand out candy - though I'd be shocked if we got more than one Trick or Treater. Mom bought two bags of candy. Craxyness.

That is more trick than treat.

Are you going as a crazed A's fan with a green wig?

Let that be a lesson to us all.
Wow, even Nature magazine is supporting Obama.
This journal does not have a vote, and does not claim any particular standing from which to instruct those who do. But if it did, it would cast its vote for Barack Obama.
I have yet to see anyone (human or pet) in a Halloween costume. Dunno what's up - I usually at least see some on the train.
