HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Mon. & Tues., October 30-31, 2023

Unfortunately, Jacob was under the weather both of these days and thus spent both days at our house.

Mary would succumb to a similar ailment midday today which was sad as today was . . .

. . . HALLOWEEN!

A happy Mary Poppins in the

morning before her health issues

Her initial plan was to change back in the evening into her Wednesday Addams outfit that she wore to our mini pre-Halloween party last Saturday.

That was not meant to be.

Laurie had the front yard

ready to greet any and all

Trick-or-Treaters tonight

We were a bit bummed out that we only had a total of 13 youngsters knock on our door tonight.

On the other hand, that's a lot of candy for Jacob and Mary to share as they did not get a chance to go out tonight.

Maybe it is because of weirdos like

this that parents did not let their

kids roam the neighborhood tonight

Now, THAT'S the Halloween Spirit,

West Point Style!

A HUGE game for unranked, 2-6 Army this Saturday on the road against 17th ranked, 8-0 Air Force. 

While most of today was indeed

about Halloween, it was also . . .

. . . TACO TUESDAY IN AMERICA!

Laurie and I were extremely focused as we ate our Ruby's tacos for lunch.

It is rapidly becoming a family tradition.

Tacos are now becoming a big part of the everyday internet scene.

I have been known to think

this way at times

Amongst other foods

Fits in with the Halloween theme . . .

. . . but one must still give bacon its due

Bacon wrapped, hard shell tacos, hmmm . . .

Wasn't that the truth!

Admit it, you were there

once upon a time

I certainly remember that I was back in the day.

On to news of American football globally . . .

Huskies ranked 5th this week taking

on 24th ranked USC on Saturday

We will be at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum rooting the 8-0 UW on to victory.

The PAC-12 still shines in its

lamentable final year of existence

This afternoon, the first College Football Playoff poll was announced. Since it is the only one that really matters, it was greeted anxiously by all fans of teams trying to get into the four team National Championship tournament at the end of the season.

The Huskies are 5th in the CFP poll too

The CFP poll raised some eyebrows by having it as #1 Ohio State, #2 Georgia, #3 Michigan and #4 Florida State. All four of these teams are 8-0 on the season.

Forget the CFP poll Huskies and

BEAT THE TROJANS!

Now, that's funny!

The Florida Gators are currently 5-3 and unranked.

Recruiting is hot and heavy

in Romania . . .

. . . as it is in Mallorca, Spain

"The Moment is Now"

Lots of good travel thoughts today too . . .

Agreed

Ditto

We have ALL felt this unbelievable

level of exhilaration

I wasted a lot of my pre-retirement

days not heeding this advice

I needed to be more courageous

in my 20s and 30s

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
