Cyber Neighbors

I recently got a new cell phone number, and I've been getting lots of phone calls for the prior holder of this number. At first it was aggrevating, but in a way it's been kind of an interesting experience. She was apparently a very nice person and very connected (I think she's gotten more calls on this number than I have!) and I think she had been doing some charity work.  The people in her network are by-and-large quite nice: I almost look forward to chatting with her next caller!

Halloween!

Another Halloween come and gone. This year the kids were very excited about decorating the house, or rather the front yard --- probably because a house a couple doors down had done their place up in spades. So we added some more to our slowing growing stock of decorations (no pics, sorry!). Also, this year Son decided he would stay home and greet the trick-or-treaters instead of doing the rounds. I rather enjoyed this, sitting on the front porch with a warm drink and listening to the sounds of Halloween up and down the street.
