harris teeter rules.

when drinking beer, from time to time i especially enjoy highland brewing's oatmeal porter because it's smooth and dark and sweet and made in asheville. the local harris teeter here in charlotte doesn't carry it, though they do carry highland's gaelic ale which is also delicious.

yesterday i went to the customer service desk looking for a request card to fill out & the girl said to write my name, #, and what i want on this piece of paper and she'd put it in 'her' box. i just got a voicemail from harris teeter that my beer's ready to pick up at the service desk.

pretty good.

geese

these canada geese glided by this morning, under the surface their feet were furious, their honks were sloppy and guttural and flat

halloween

halloween is easily my least favorite holiday of the year. i don't like the colors orange and black. i don't like spiders. i don't like being scared. i don't like deception and fakery. i don't like girls dressing up like sluts. i don't like high fructose corn syrup. i don't like cats. i don't like circus peanuts. i don't like when the leaves die and fall off the trees. i don't like razor blades in fun size snickers bars. i would like a friendly ghost in my life though.

it's fall. it's freezing in the morning, and the leaves are en fuego, and it's dark by dinner, and it's the time of the season for corn mazes and hot chocolate and cider and wood fires and snuggies of every kind.

today my parents have been married for 37 years. as they say in mexico, that's a chitload.
