Bootastic and Frightfullicious

Well, another Halloween has come and gone in Maryland. This one was abit different for me but somewhat familiar. Halloween 2004 was my first and I'm thinking I came home late from the office. It was rather entertaining to see the costumes on the subway. Last year, it was great to have Kim and Georgia up here...although we had yet to move into our new townhouse. This year, K & G are in Mississippi this week.

It was a bit too much to cough up three plane tickets at once and I can't go anywhere during sweeps periods - which November is a big one. So, I help out at the church's Fall Festival. A great turn out and the kids had a lot of fun! I found an orange long-sleeve shirt and considered myself "An Uncarved Pumpkin." I know, lame. Didn't have anything in the closet to have fun with...and zero time and money to put together anything else. Oh, well. The remainder of the night was spent recouping from the long day and posting a few Halloween pics from around the DC area submitted by viewers.

Fall leaves here are amazing. Vivid colors...yellows and reds are in abundance and quite spectacular. However, I may need to miff the homeowner's association by setting by front lawn a blaze...quite a few need to be raked. LOL

Ahhhh, I miss the days of working on the "Unexplained" series. This time three years ago and for three years before that I would be needing a coma having worked on the half-hour special for hours on end with help from others.

It's amazing how time has flown and it's already November! I'm planning on a visit to Mississippi in December.

More to come...

I Can Honestly Say Jon Is My Best Friend

At the beginning of this year, these were Kate Gosselin's words in an interview with Today's Christian Woman : "I can honestly say Jon is my best friend." Kate also says, "When the babies were born, I was well aware that our marriage could crumble. It was close to doing so at times. But we survived that first year. And then the second one. And then each year after that. Even though the issues have changed, it's never gotten easier. "But Jon and I are more determined than ever that we're in this together. We've told our kids many times that we're always going to be a family. There are no other options. Sure, Jon and I take our stress out on each other, and no, that's not always good or healthy. But we work hard as a team every day."

Separation of Church and State

The phrase "separation of church and state" has been used so frequently in the news (and perhaps I hear it more being in DC/Baltimore region), that I seriously question if anyone really understands the origins of the phrase and how it's been polluted? For many, I'll assume they think it means keeping church or religion out of all government and government supported entities. Wrong.

So God's Work Might Be Displayed

Rousing from an unplanned nap near 1am Saturday, my cellphone blinks in receipt of a message. I assume it's spam to the work email account. Instead, it's a text message from 12:22am. It reads: Baby Pierce got his angel wings today at 3 o clock. News began to circulate around 4pm and trickled to Caringbridge at 11:40pm Friday night. An outpouring of love to the family was already in progress on Facebook and continued through the weekend.
