More than 1000 pieces of candy, and we still ran out with an hour left of trick or treat.
Published writer, compulsive reader, Old School Whovian, Match Game enthusiast, NKOTB fan, data hoarder, and - surprisingly, given that list - married with four kids. Welcome to my take on life, fatherhood, entertainment, and whatever strikes my fancy. Enjoy!

LuLu has a fit
LuLu is literally whining and stomping her feet yelling "Take me to the library!" What a dork. #DNACannotBeOvercome
update: LuLu just blocked me on Facebook and reported me as a bully. "Have fun having one less daughter," she said.
update 2: After making her watch football for an hour as punishment, I drove LuLui down to Central library. I was stopped by an old co-worker from the '90's and chatted for ten minutes or so, again annoying my daughter. "Why do you have to stop and talk to someone everywhere we go?? Why can't you just be normal?
Also, this gem: "I still disown you. You're not my father, you're my legal guardian now. I still love you, but that's because it's normal to have feelings for your guardian."
Twenty Questions
Lisa and I went to dinner at the restaurant where Caitlin works, and our niece did a fine job of trying to squirrel out of my questions about her plans. :)

Spittin' Truth
I know people say their kids are good looking all the time, but let's face it: there are some ugly @@s children in the world. Mine, however, are legit attractive. Lisa, we bred well baby.
Do Your Jobs Right, Media
To repeat a comment I made earlier: not every consumer complaint, not every schoolyard drama, not every personal life event is *news*. It's fine for your Facebook page or diary, but I'm sick of seeing it reported by national news services. ABC/CNN, etc. needs to concentrate on issues and events of ACTUAL importance to the nation.
Halloween '15
The Halloween Party was a success, and I'll try and post pics tomorrow. Thanks to Tracy and Pam for their company and the fog machine, JJ for help with prep and for handing out candy, Alex and Trudy for the syringe moonshine shots, Capri's Mom for walking with us, my cousin Becky and her son for stopping by and taking Smiley and Junie out again, and whoever else I missed :) Thanks everyone!
It Begins
Just had our first trick or treater. A half hour early, they didn't speak English, and they got back in a car and drove off. Yes, I gave them candy)

Bowling
Party prep in progress, and with Lisa unexpectedly shorthanded I went and pre-bowled. I notched a 103, 102, and 115, marking the first time I crossed the century mark in all three games.

It's a Good Season (so far)
I'm now 6-1 in my fantasy league and in sole possession of first place, after just trouncing the former #1 team by fifty points to win my third A## Kicker Award of the season.
This isn't the Way to Run a Country
If you follow conservative news sites, and I doubt anyone here does, you'll note there is a crazy, 1964 vibe on the far right. Ryan isn't conservative enough to be speaker? He's an Obama wannabe? The establishment must be ignored and overthrown? WTH people, put away your tin hats and focus on getting elected and governing. That's the goal, not this Goldwater kamikaze bulls##t. It's like they want to lose just so they can claim the game is rigged.

ISO
We bought a second hand suit to rip up for Smiley's Zombie costume. The trouble is, when he tried it on he looked so damn good we're saving it for Christmas mass. So, if anyone has a boys suit to spare PLEASE contact me. Thanks.
Just One. Please.
I would like one day where exhaustion isn't nipping at my heels. Just one. #BusyLife

What's Wrong with Me?
Two days in a row now I've walked out of the gas station and got in the wrong car. On day one I even set off an alarm, and STILL didn't realize it wasn't my Taurus until I saw the Diet Coke in the cup holder (we're a Pepsi family).
Apparently I'm an idiot.
