Of Pooches and Poltergeists

We went camping last weekend. It was pretty sweet. The campground had their big Halloween celebration and my FIL (Father In Law) went crazy (as usual) with the decorations.

The King of Ghoul himself. I am so proud to be related to this real American hero. Truly a living legend. 

Inspiring isn't it?

 He NEVER loses any Halloween decorating competition. NEVER.

We also dressed up Beau Bear. I think he looks ever so charming.

But wait.....there's more!

I added more song videos to my band page. Looks like a few people have been watching some of the others so I figured I'd add a couple more. They are not very good, partly because all I have to edit the vids with is Windows Movie Maker. Currently I have no idea whatsoever what anyone thinks of them (I suspect some people are watching them for a laugh) so maybe let me know. Be honest though. I need somebody to say "Dude! Quit torturing us with these horrible crimes against humanity! I might jab my eyes out if I have to see another of your absurd home videos!" Then I will stop putting them on here and the world will be at peace. Until then though, I might just keep doing this.........

You never know.....

I got called in to work today. I was asked to work in the circulation department at the library I am employed at. I normally work in the reference department helping people with computers but today I am working with books. It is always interesting working over here.
I have already been put on the hunt for books by several patrons. First, an attractive young blond asked for books on Raphael. I tried to get my single buddy to handle this request but no such luck. Oh, well. I try. Next, a young African-American man came over and delighted me by asking about Dante. He was very interested in reading "The Divine Comedy" and not for a class, but just for fun. Naturally I was thrilled and we talked about the story for a while. I don't meet many people who are interested in such things. Pretty neat. Maybe I should work in circ more often. Seems like more opportunities for interesting discussions. A nice break from "I forgot my Yahoo password" or "I can't get Farmville to work" which is more typical of my department.

My youngest sister's birthday was yesterday. We had another exciting party back at home in honor of the occasion. There were lots of guests and high spirits all around. Not to mention fabulous feasting. My siblings sure are growing up fast. My oldest sister (next in line after me) just got her first apartment and moved in on Monday. Her and a friend are sharing the place and they are both very excited. So much change going on. Ah, well. Such is the adult life.

Other good blogs

I totally love my wife's new blog. She has been documenting the ridiculous antics of our family felines. Pretty hilarious stuff. She has also done an excellent job of photographing the furballs. Overall a great blog. Mom's blog is also really good. Plenty of wacky tales from back home and lots of really good pictures. I encourage anyone to read them both. Ash also has a poll on her blog that should yield amusing results. This little blogging community has quickly become one of my favorite parts of my daily internet time.

Another vid

I spent a few hours making another video. Not a new song but I included all the other instruments. You can see it on the "My Creations" page. Let me know what you think. I can't wait until I someday have some quality video editing software.
