Genetics at Work

Here are two photos that prove being a dork is genetic. In the first photo my little brother is on the right. In the second photo my little sister is on the left. I love them for so many reasons. Today I love them because they make me feel a little less like a dork. The full impact of the second photo can be felt with a quick double click.

Planning for Halloween

With Apple Fest over I am left to focus on Halloween. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. Halloween has great food - pumpkin pie, candy corn, popcorn balls. Halloween has great books - "The Halloween Tree" and "Something Wicked this Way Comes." My favorite Halloween book is "Something Wicked This Way Comes." You would think I would tire of the book after reading it for twenty-one Octobers. Every time I open those pages I am as terrified as a twelve year old. Since I can't dress up like my favorite Bradbury characters, I decided to dress up as one of my favorite Star Wars characters: Chewbaccha. After pricing faux fur and calculating the enormous amount I would need to cover my ass, I decided to buy some white poly/satin and dress up as Leia. White poly/satin is only $4.00 yard - $24.00 to cover my ass. Halloween is scary!

Apple Festival '08

Apple Festival always has hundreds of people, tons of food and view of the Lake. We can't stand all of the people and remind ourselves of this every year but we keep going back for the food and the view. Fall doesn't begin without a visit to Apple Festival.

October Begins

Today I spent a good amount of time near Lake Superior. Lake Superior is its most beautiful in the fall. Feel free to click on the photos to enlarge them.
