The music from Trailercana is terrific. I've really been enjoying it. I'm glad you posted that link Karen. I'm planning to pick up the CD for my self now.
After the school dance last night some of us chaperones went out for some drinks and had quite a good time. It always interesting to me to see the out of school side of my colleagues. They're quite a fun group.
Rainy day so a nice nap was in order. Felt great to snuggle down in the sheets in the early afternoon. A good day to be inside and toasty for sure. think I'll make shepards' pie for supper tonight. Its a comfort food day.
Sorry your mouth is recovering so slowly Richard. should it be taking this long? Must have been some major work.

Happy Weekend. Beautiful full moon last night.....today rain. We need it but I really wanted to finish my lawns. I did rake, mulch up leaves for 2 hours late afternoon yesterday. Got dark at 6 so I had to stop...well, I suppose I could have kept going as the tractor has lights...but no! We had a frost yesterday morning.
Congratulations on your 25th Anniversary Brian and many more!
Wish we could send some rain to California for the fires. Hard to imagine someone would deliberately start fires. My daughter said it was raining in NC the past few days so hopefully, that'll help with the drough down there as well.
Great that Evan is getting a job to be able to support you soon, Karen!!! Good job!
Are you all getting ready for Halloween??? I need to come up with a costume for our "party" at school...after 20 something years its hard to come up with good ideas anymore....nose glasses might be the way to go!
Happy Thoughts...............

hi. it was brian king's anniversary party last weekend and he and debra have worked and played hard to get to this point. it really was a great party. the week since has been just okay. my hurting jaw is ready for the next party, but i guess this weekend is going to be a bit dull. i have projects around the house. super! i have been putting together my next whirlwind business trip for the week after thanksgiving. i may start to lose my sense of humor with this one. i have the same great travel partner, but we are hitting denver, portland, san jose, huntington beach, chicago, and points in wisconsin in as many days. i better pack some zone bars. richard

That's great that your son got the job, Karen! And he'll be nearby, too.

The sky has a different color from the fires, Patti, but we're not in any danger. Malibu is about 45 minutes away.

Avi's uncle Avner is arriving today for a 3-week visit. He's one of my favorite people--the kind of person who everyone seems to feel comfortable talking to. Avi's other uncles are nice, but I have nothing much to say to them. This one is different. He has lived all over the world cuz his wife is a French diplomat. They live in Kenya now. He's a house-husband. Is that what you call it? His wife works, and he stays home--although now he organizes parties, dinners, etc. for the diplomats there.

Glad to hear that you had such a wonderful visit with your family Lori. I've been wondering where your home is in relation to the fires. I hope everything will be all right for you guys out there. Dave's sisters seem to be ok.

We're all done with pretty views for the fall. Too much rain and heavy winds. The final soccer game for the high school varsity ended in a 1-0 loss in the rain. Overtime and all. A sad ending. The temperatures have been so strangely warm though. Somethings very wrong with the weather.

Time to go deal with laundry. g'night all.

Congrats on the new job Karen!!

Hi everyone. Just wanted to say I'm sorry I didn't get to see any of you this time when I was in Vermont, but hopefully the next visit will be longer and I'll have more time then. My daughter and I got home last night. We were really lucky with the weather. It rained once, but only at night, so it didn't interfere with any of our plans. We were lucky with the foliage, too. It was at its peak and was really beautiful. We walked on various trails in the area with my parents and my brother and his family. I was glad I did decide to go cuz I don't get to see my family that often; even a short visit is worth it. We laugh a lot when we're together. Our flight was in the afternoon yesterday, so we had time in the morning for a bike ride by the lake in Burlington. Anyway, now I'm back in L.A. where all the fires are raging--not right by us, but nothing's that far.

Wisdom teeth out was a long time ago for me. I don't remember it being followed by great parties though. Maybe it was great drugs I had for the after part.

hi. recovery from wisdom teeth is slow. i guess i did not expect miracles on this one. the parties are helping. went to a good one saturday night/sunday morning. this guy named brian has been married to debra for 25 years. good party, nice people, and dancing till dawn. richard
