Never enough

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Last night, we handed out candy to the trick or treaters and J brought toothbrushes and toothpaste for them. Most of the kids have already been brainwashed, they were like, “yeah, we need to brush after all this candy.” Not to say they weren’t thrilled to get a toothbrush – who knew? – but one kid says to me after I hand him a travel size toothpaste and orange brush, “Hey, you don’t got electric ones, do ya?”

Best overheard line

Standing in the Marigny last night, a woman says to a couple of friends, “So he steals my car and when he brings it back, Louis’ ashes are in the backseat.”

Attack of the LIBRAS from another planet

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

The whole world of Libras was unknown to me till recently and now I’m surrounded by them. They’re charismatic little imps and big pranksters. I know several that are guilty of pumpkin theft and carving – P, N, and L to name a few. Roy doesn’t count – he fessed up to the Hebe-o-Lantern. I think pumpkins bring out the most of Libras – after all it is their birthday month, partially, that is all about the pumpkin.

Meanwhile, October is over and while there are no more mysteries to solve with pumpkins, November is all about the turkey.
