Can it really be nearly Halloween?!

I got a look at the calendar today and was stunned to see the date, more than half way through October! Where does the time go? Recreation can sometimes be very hard work I can tell you. The time has raced by and nothing seems to be getting done! I am talking about our current remodel of our personal temple of the Church of the Seven Day Recreationalists and while work is proceeding feverishly, no real progress seems to be occuring. As a result TLL and I have not had the requisite quanity of recreation we would ordinarily enjoy. It's getting pretty damn old I can tell you!

In an effort to counteract this problem we were discussing having a combo Halloween/House Warming party the weekend before All Hallows Eve, but alas the remodeling gods have conspired against us and I would be impressed indeed if we even had time to decorate for one of our fav High Holy Days. TLL has secured us some fine specimens of the vegitable variety but as of this writting she has not begun designing any faces. We'll see. I had a grand idea concerning a 10' inflatable spider for our breezeway, but we will have to save that for next year I'm afraid. Shame that, because I have recently learned how to prolong the life machine made fog, and I was looking forward to putting it to the test this year.

The bright point comes from the knowledge that our Most Beloved Brother, Silvertounge and the beautiful Princess M may be joining us in the parched desert southwest in the near future. After all that time at sea and then a few weeks in Nashville, TN he ought to be about ready for a climate that is both warm AND dry. At any rate if their travels bring them to our neck of the woods then we shall all lift a pint or two or three or... Well, we'll be happy to see them at any rate.

Don't forget, 4 pm is Grog time! or Tea time if that's what makes you happy. So sit down and enjoy a mug, (or cup as the case may be.) Proper recereation begins with a relaxed mind, so just sit back and take a few deep timed breaths and comit your self to the task at hand. That being the attainment of that precious state of mind known only as "Chilled". You have worried and suffered enough today, it's time to recreate. So get to it!
