Halloween



37 years ago today Penny and I had our first date.


I had a productive day today. I started by stopping off at the insurance office to get my homeowners insurance paid in monthly installments (it’s too big to pay all at once this year – curse you hurricanes). Then it was off to the tax collector to renew our vehicles’ registrations. When I walked in they were serving #67 and I had #80. Rather than wait I went over to my dentist’s office and made an appointment to have a bothersome tooth fixed. I think I cracked it biting down on a cherry pit. X-rays and visuals don’t show any problem with the tooth. I just can’t chew with it! When I got back to the tax collector’s they were on #78. I waited less than 5 minutes to get service. My next appointment was a haircut but I had 45 minutes – so I went to the Library and got a few audio books. When I showed up for my haircut all the hairdressers were dressed for Halloween – a lion, a scarecrow and the wizard – no tin man.


After the haircut I picked up lunch at Crystal and brought it home to Penny. Before heading out in the morning I had sorted the laundry and started the first load. After lunch I went back to laundry and paying some attention to our ailing cat Sunshine. By days end I got all the laundry done and, in my pirate’s get-up, fended off goblins and ghosts and superheroes by giving them candy.
