We are having a most rare occurrence right now - something called rain. Or sort of rain. It began right about nine, stopped about fifteen minutes later but is now coming down again. Let it continue for a while.

It would have to be Genghis Cohen in Los Angeles with the BK, some of the cast of The Brain From Planet X, some Hainers and my friend who I went to see the show with.

Good morning, all! I have a leisurely day set. Very little on the schedule makes me quite happy. I have a bootleg of this current GOLDEN APPLE playing in Texas to listen to and some puttering about.

Unlike previous years, very few trick or treaters came to our block last night. W bought 3 bags of Halloween candy; only managed to get rid of half a bag.

Oh, well! More for me.

TOD:

When I was traveling back in the 1980s with Steve Kanaly (Dallas), doing car shows and other personal appearances, I had a couple of memorable meals.

In Lafayette, LA, I had a fantastic Cajun meal.

In Halifax, Nova Scotia, I ate the best fish I've ever tasted in my life.

I agree with Mike about Genghis Cohen. I love the green beans.

We had many pirates last night, a few Frozen Elsas, assorted animals, but the best was a Bert and Mary from Mary Poppins.....most excellent.

I think we went out Trick or Treating from about 6:15pm till 7:45pm. I don't think most people stay out past 8pm. I love how some people get so into the holiday that they put on a whole production. I love it. Many kids are terrified. Luckily my niece's swim team buddy lives across the street. She came over early so we all went out together. But her brother wanted to go early. So she stayed with us. And boy was she freaked out. There was a man walking around with a black costume, face covered and red eyes that flashed. This girl would not go back down the street cause she was so freaked out by him.

Another lady we know was lying on the ground in a bloody wedding gown. And she would rise and spook you when you came. Her whole yard was set up. It was really nice. Another kid was wearing a head to toe skeleton costume and standing in the dark beside her driveway. Luckily she screamed out at me and not the kids as they would not have liked it.

The only bad part is that since it is cold you have to wear your jacket under your costume. But I actually found the weather fine. It was low 40s. But I had my winter coat on and I was not cold at all. It was not windy or rainy which happens a lot.

I am in the middle of setting up Rose's new computer. I downloaded 50 updates and they are now installing. I'm at 30 so I have a way to go.

I stayed home and passed out candy last night. Although I'm about a block away from the good part of the neighborhood (with a concentration of houses with a bunch of little kids and families who go all out decorating for Halloween). I still had quite a few trick-or-treaters. All in all, it was an extraordinarily polite group of kids and adults. How refreshing!

Good morning, all. I am off to a Brahms Requiem rehearsal.

TOD:

So many choices. I'll pick one from when I was living in Florida. A friend was writing an article about key lime pie and he wanted to go to the original Joe's in South Beach, clear across the state, in order to try theirs. So, we drove over (more than three hours) and showed up around opening time. There's usually a wait of more than an hour and, sure enough, there were plenty of folks waiting. But the staff knew we were coming and whisked us in and sat us down at a table out of sight of the early birds. The room filled up about 20 minutes later with people, all of whom seemed to be having as good a time as we were. The restaurant loaded us up with the largest and best stone crab claws I've ever had in my life, plus their coleslaw made with a secret recipe and finally the most vibrant key lime pie I'll ever eat. Then it was a most happy three-hour ride back to reality.

Elmore, let me know what you think of that Golden Apple. I wish I had had time for the trip up to Dallas this weekend to see it.

My new phone case arrived, but didn't include instructions or the tool I need to open it to put my phone inside.....

Good late morning, all.

Boy, did I need that sleep. Truly. A wonderful thing, sleep.

I first read that as "I stayed home and passed out last night."

That meal at Joe's sounds divine, DR John G. I've never been there myself, but that will be rectified someday.

Our RAGTIME opens tonight, too. I shall wish all of us broken legs for the occasion.

I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep, I think.

Broken legs vibes for ChasSmith, Tateh, Mother, Sarah, Younger Brother and the rest of Ragtime folks.

Back from a cheese omelet and some banking. Rehearsal in thirty minutes. I am feeling so weird these days - maybe it's the Omoxcallin or maybe I'm still fighting something, but really enough is enough. Send those excellent vibes and xylophones - I have no time for this nonsense.

Saturday afternoon greetings! Before lunch I'd been to the AAUW book sale site to deliver 8 more boxes, the AAUW holiday bazaar site to deliver a few items from Mom, to Mom's to deliver some groceries, to our favorite butcher shop to order our Thanksgiving turkey, and back to the bazaar site to pick up the reusable grocery I'd accidentally left there. Whew!
