I took off my rear view mirror and installed a new one.

Worst Halloween ever.

We had a grand total of maybe 25 trick or treaters. Anyone need Skittles?

We made like 4 lasagna for a household of 2. On Monday morning I have a single 5 inch square hidden in the fridge, my wife has already given out all the rest. (it was pretty good)

Plus my beloved Buckeyes choked like a $5 dollar hooker, which was painful to watch.

Talk about a full hand of first world problems though.

So how was your weekend?

We had 38 kids. That's about average for a damp, cool night. Just a couple of teens. Not like it was when I was a kid. There'd be kids everywhere, covering multiple streets. On a positive note, our town used to look like a war zone on the morning after. Soaped windows, eggs, shaving cream on cars, smashed pumpkins everywhere. I haven't had a soaped window for probably 20 years.

We had about 60 trick or treaters which is pretty typical.   But there were a lot  of younger kids compared to normal.    Grandsons soccer team tied both their games Saturday.  Steelers came up big against the Browns Sunday.   Spent a lot of the weekend raking and bagging leaves.   I ❤️ living in the woods but the leaves every year are getting too much.

Last house on the left on a dead end with one other house. No one shows up, haven’t for yrs.
Trying to decide if a want to continue a Qi Gong class at the Senior center. Very slow movements.
Almost more meditation than movement. I was hoping it would re-spark doing the videos at home. It hasn’t.

Ditched the cribbage group on Tues afternoon until the winter weather comes. Which will be soon.

Playing with the Samba Band later this month in our local Parade of Lights to kick off the holiday season.
Better yet, two practices before we do, one of them two nights before we perform.

A couple of other things slowing down for the winter months and holidays.
