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.

anybody else worry about having live activated flu virus in the lobby of the grocery store?

they had FluMist - nasal spray - of live attenutated influenza vaccine - and you know not all the virus is going up their noses, some escapes to the air in the lobby. so i hope nobody under the age of 2, or over the age of 49, or pregnant goes in the grocery store lobby, as it's not recommended for them to breathe FluMist.


is this weird? this is weird.

some cows and bulls and goats live across the street. the fences don't look sturdy enough to stop them.
