Happy Pumpkin Day!

At work, we celebrated by having a chilli cook-off (I passed), costume contest, and the kids from the day-care across the street coming over and begging for candy.

I'm almost glad that my back is toast... I dont have to take the kids trick-or-treating tonight (my wife is going to do it). It was 80 degrees (26.7c) last friday, today it's 20 (-6.7c).

Brrrrr!

What are your plans?

Well .... your wife is taking me trick or treating.....

in return for which, my wife will man your door and take care of the trick-or-treaters...

I'm kinda hoping you will help me with my costume, you being the master of special effects make up as well as webmastery...

and i will of course be bringing over some halloween cheer in the form of a crate or two of alcoholic beverages in order that you might forget the woes of backache...

winter ales it is...

oh and pumkin ale. which you will be trying, wimp

I am heading over to my brother's house. He has 3 new beers ready, one of which is a mocha porter. YUM!

Take me with you!!!!

There used to be a beverage made by Red Hook called Double Black Stout that was to die for. It was brewed with Starbucks coffee and tasted a little like heaven!

BTW - these emoticons look funny when you put on above the other.

My brother started home brewing about a year ago, he hasn't made a skunky beer yet. They just keep getting better and better. He went and got the coffee beans from one of the local roasters here. I can't wait to try it. You should come up here for a visit!

I remember seeing a pic of you from last year, freakin' hilarious.

I (still at Spectrum) pulled out my karate gear and...

Office Karate - tie, pager & cell phone, black dress belt...seemed like a funny idea. Until I had to explain it about 15 times.

Still at work - hate end of month - going over to gf's sisters house after a while for pizza and (I hope) beer.

I am so happy, my friend in TX went with my Roy Horn idea! I will try and post a pic later.

I spent all day Halloween finishing my fawn costume and dealing with a fussy Enid, who has a nasty cold. Then around 8:00 I left her with Colin and went out with some friends to get roaring drunk. Weeee! Pictures later!

I just emailed the pic to you, I can't find a free place I can post and link.

I just figured it out

Edit by bio - I uploaded it to my machine and changed the link

I'll have to check my email, because your link didn't work. Hmmm.

I may have to give you webspace on my server for things like that

In the meantime... here's Jester's pumpkins from Halloween. Yeah... you've seen similar things before, but it's still damn funneh!!
