Free Starbucks Today

Free Starbucks coffee today for voters (and liars, as my friend Ed Bove supposes) - just head on in, tell 'em you voted, and get a free cuppa joe. Not sure if this makes them liberal or conservative, but it sure is nice of 'em.

Halloween

Another Halloween has come and gone - it's one of my favorite holidays.  Always fun to dress up and be someone else for a night - and see the craziness everywhere.  This year I was Marilyn Monroe to Darren's Joe DiMaggio.  We had tickets to the very ill-attended Copper Box Halloween Party on Artsblock, then went to City Grill, Lopps, and finally Mountain Lanes. Kind of a weird night - not as many people out and about as I would have thought.  The kids all went trick or treating together and had a good night of fun.  I've never seen so much candy in this house, I swear.

I've been thinking a lot about how damaged past relationships can make us.  How we cling to fear - the fear of history repeating itself.  I don't know how to get past that, at times.  I suppose it all just takes time.

This is my final weekend off until my vacation in December, so we're making the most of it by having a complete "do nothing" day.  The sun is shining, the air is warm, and I think it's just really going to be a great day.
