All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Y'know, for anyone but me this would be a really odd email to get:

Did I leave my wrench and speed wrench in your car last night?

See, now, if you have a speed wrench, why would you also need a regular wrench?

And the subject line... Wrenches.

Now tagless for your comfort.

No bruises but a wicked case of rink rash. I fell right on my pumpkin.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We went to Boney Island tonight. A guy, who I guess is a producer on The Simpsons, spends MONTHS turning his yard into a Halloween extravaganza. It was AMAZING. Check it out: [link] Hundreds of animatronic skeletons and a blacklight musical fountain display and the three-story tree house. All free and so much fun.

One of the skeleton attractions is a fortune teller. They built a shadow box inside the front window of the house, and that display is in there. The cool part is a nondescript older guy, holding a slurpee cup, standing near the back of the crowd. We went with friend's kids and the younger went up front. The skeleton told him he knew his name. At the same time, slurpee man motioned the dad over, who whispered in his ear. When the skeleton said "Your name is Ethan." Ethan jumped about a foot. It was awesome.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Another lazy Sunday morning, with Nova on my lap.

Because books.

I feel super lazy, especially considering my brother and sister-in-law are running the Marine Corps Marathon today.

That's more than enough effort for any one family. You are helping towards the conservation of energy by taking things easy today.

And eating French toast!

What cracks me up is this is the first weekend they've had alone together in forever. And they're spending a good part of it running, in the cold. Whatever turns you on, I guess.
