Not a big deal in the UK, I’ve heard, but big enough here. TLK is going to be dressed up as a cat, which is a good alternative to her first pick.
My office (the brand new one) is having a pet parade tomorrow. I am not taking my dogs, but I’ll [...]

It Is Halloween
Gift Horses
Yesterday, TLK and I ventured into Wal-Mart mid-rush hour for a whirlwind shopping expedition for miscellaneous things. When I checked out, I grabbed all the bags from the carousel and went home.
