CAUTION: May Get Scareded

Eeek!

Yesterday wasn't half-bad. No dressing up or candy binges, but I did get to eat Pez out of a skull dispenser and have dinner at an adorable new place in my neighborhood.

On the way to our spontaneous munching we saw many kids dressed up and trick-er-treatin'. A lot more than I originally would have thought. Yesterday was a good day for it, with temperatures in the low- to mid-seventies. No snowsuits worked into costume ideas like where I grew up!

I had a big ol' vegetarian plate of very good mashed potatoes, asparagus, squash casserole and fried okra. The okra was a first for me, and it was damn good. I added two big glasses of Octoberfest beer and some sips of red and white wine. Kasey had salmon that smelled delicious but forgot to get her some mac & cheese as a side. Oh well, with the place within walking distance we can always go back.


I actually rode my bike there after dropping Kasey off so I could get her ID, and so we could drink, drink, drink and not have to drive, drive, drive. However, when we got outside to head home and I mounted (heh) my bike to tipsily impress Kasey with failed tricks, the front tire was flat. Again.

I had noted it was low when I got home after work, so I pumped it up and it seemed to hold. Still, I'd called my local bike shoppe and had them order me some puncture resistant tubes so this doesn't keep happening. How's a guy supposed to get some if he can't fall on his ass trying to show off?

Hope everyone's Halloween was good, whether they distributed candy or just digested it. I'm off now to try and get things done. I'm very sluggish this morning. I blame the beer and lack of expected exercise.
