Happy Halloween!

It's the day when all the amateurs troll for candy, so enjoy! Tomorrow I will swoop in and grab what's left at a discount.

In the meantime, I've noticed my neighborhood going downhill. You know that's the case when you're at the shopping center down the street from where you live and see three unrelated people who may OR MORE LIKELY MAY NOT be in costume for Halloween dressed as, respectively, a crazy lady, a transvestite and a Michael Jackson impersonator. Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to know what I've been looking at.

New puppy mama

After 12 years of wanting, I finally have a dog, and I suspect many of my future posts will involve this new part of my life. You have been warned.

In the first few weeks with the new puppy, I met neighbors and other strangers who never gave me the time of day before I had her. One of them, ironically, helped me land a job that will take me away from her a few times a week. But I digress. The point is, I met so many new people on a daily basis, I gave up on keeping track of them, or even asking their names. Now I only ask their dogs' names. Realized I wouldn't recognize 75 percent of the dog owners without their dogs. Feel free to discuss.
