Well, It's that time of year again. A good time of year. First I'd like to remind everyone that on the right side of the screen is my Amazon search box. Christmas presents are a good thing ;-) Whatever you are looking for you can put in the search box and it will bring up the product on Amazon.com. As long as you stay on Amazon.com you can buy anything and it will count towards my storefront. So far I have earned $25 this year from this site. Also, clicking the Google ads puts a penny in my pot. However since I pay $12 a month for this site it is definitely a loss leader, but I do all this for fun anyways.

Last night was Halloween. Last year at the fall festival I was attacked by kids inside of one of those bounce houses. I would say,"time to go" and they would look at me and say,"no no no no" So this year even mom was giving me advice, "Brian, tell them you will tell their parents if they don't do what you say." I thought that might work so I might've tried it. Luckily this year my class ran the pre-school soccer goal. It was a very easy job. Basically you hold a bucket, a 2 year old puts their ticket in your bucket. You place the soccer ball in front of them, say "kick it" and it goes in the goal or off to the side. Then you say "yeeaaa" and give them 2 more tries. Then you say "go over there and get some candy." and they run to our candy bucket. It wasn't bad at all. For the girls I saw princesses, ballerinas and angels. The guys were way more varied. I saw all types - superheros like spider-man, Darth Vader, Jedi's, Buzz Lightyear, fireman, train conductors, ninjas and of course Dallas Cowboys. I thought my house would be egged since I wasn't there, but as I drove back from the fall festival I noticed most of the houses in the neighborhood had their lights turned off. Something tells me they were all at the fall festival. It makes sense. There was over 1 million square feet of rides and games. I don't even think I saw it all. It looked like there was about 100 separate inflatable houses and then there were dunking games, gladiator fighting, sumo wrestling and face painting things. Outside there was an inflatable pond where there was live channel catfish. Kids would catch a big catfish and get a trophy and they'd throw the catfish back in the pond. They also had minnow racing. That was interesting, kids would take a minnow and put it in the start section of a mini racetrack and they would shake it up and the minnow would swim to the end. All that was missing was Mexican rooster fighting and a bookie.

Thought of the Day
Jerry: Are you sure you want to get married? I mean, it's a big change of life.
Elaine: Jerry, it's 3 a.m. and I'm at a rooster fight. What am I clinging to?
