Batting Practice

She's only five, but she can hit. After I made this video she hit one over our fence.

Mmmm... bacon

What is it about bacon? I love it, my kids love it. Everything's better with bacon.

All done trick or treating

Well, we're finished trick or treating and I'm exhausted. Thing 2, my two year old was practically asleep in her mouse costume before we got home. I'm pretty wiped out too, but Thing 1, my 5-year-old is BOUNCING off the walls. too much sugar. But I guess that's what is supposed to happen right? Anyway, I have sorted (read stolen the good ones) her candy, and she is brushing her teeth. Now for some javascript and then some sleep.

Halloween costume

Song bag

I found this old backpack full of song lyrics in my basement. Some of these songs were something like 20 years old. Must be 200 songs in there. After reading them, I was surprised at how many I could remember. I was also surprised at how uncrappy they were. There was at least *one* good thing about all of them. Maybe I'll record a few, just for fun.

On another note - you can hear my band The Foibles here until I decide to change everything..

And here's the sunset

Wow, what a bookend to this morning's sunrise.
