Generally, I like having space limitations because it helps me keep people focused and gives me a way to fight back against the pages and pages of BS that some folks want to include.

(This post would not fit within that limit, for example.)

Darby and I are now headed out trick or treating. All the neighborhood businesses (like 20+ stores and restaurants) are participating, as a benefit for a rescue group. Should be fun!
She was going to be a triceratops but I think having something on her head for long will be upsetting, so instead we are resurrecting the landshark.
Man, the things this dog puts up with.

Bad: I am sneezing like a mofo.
Good: Replacement electric blanket! I can now face winter.
Oh Frank, so sad. I'm so sorry.
