thoughts to share.
First of all, I hope you had a great Halloween. Especially with the
extra hour (for most of you). Although technically that additional
hour is for today, All Saints Day. And given that all of the bars
close before two, and that the "underwear only" party I was invited to
(yes, really; no, I didn't go; yes, really) ended at 1:00, even though
we don't observe Daylight Savings here, I suppose that all anyone can
really do with the extra hour is spend some time contemplating their
favorite saint (mine's St. Hubbins, patron saint of shoe repair). At
any rate, I'm digressing (you know that's happening when I start using
more parentheses than words).
The point is that there is now only a three hour time difference
between here and my friends and family in Colorado, which is a mighty
sight better than that ungodly four hours of difference. Heck, now
we're practically in the same time zone!
The other point was about Halloween. I spent a little time on
Freakbook yesterday (I was told my RSS plans might be back on track,
but alas, Facebook is still thwarting my best intentions). Anyway,
reading friends' posts there got me to wondering exactly how, but more
importantly when, we stopped complaining about not getting enough
candy and started complaining about having too much candy left over
afterwards. I mean, that's quite a swing from one end of the spectrum
to the other. So, inspecting my own life, trying to find a reason for
this change, I find that whole area to be hazy and a little
disjointed, leading me to believe that alcohol is probably to blame
for not wanting more candy. That makes sense to me. Given the choice
between a beer and a small (smaller every year) package of Skittles,
I'll take the beer almost every time.
Reading this now tha it's typed out, I see it really doesn't make any
sense at all, but it took a long time to type it out on this little
gnome-sized iPod keyboard, so there's no way I'm deleting it.
As a final note, check out the URL below, and be sure to take a gander
at Thursday and Friday.

Waves between ten and thirteen feet tall! I have a feeling that
Friday I'll be up very early in hopes of beating the crowds.
Well, that's it from the porch this morning. My coffee's nearly gone,
and I've got a lot to do today (like remembering St. Hubbins). I hope
you all have a great day.
