 "I still don't understand why I can't vote."

"You have to be eighteen-years-old, Bob."

"Are you sure? I heard 'every vote counts.' Doesn't that include mine?"

"Not yet. It will in twelve years."

"Can I go with you and watch you vote?"

"Always."

Night Moves

10:15pm  The guys are spread out across the bed, Teddy is asleep with his head on my pillow.

10:20pm  I finally get Teddy to move to the foot of the bed so I can go to sleep.

1:15am  Jeff gets up to let Daisy outside.

1:17am  They return, Bob has rolled over and is taking up Jeff's spot. Jeff moves his 6'4" self into the twin bed in Bob's bedroom.

3:20am  Bob wakes up and misses Jeff and moves into the twin bed with him.

4:40am  The dogs wake up and join the guys in the twin bed, leaving me alone to enjoy the king bed.

Sweet Dreams.

You guys? I like writing and I'm about to find out how much. There's this thing that goes down every November called National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel by November 30th. It's not a contest, just a challenge. I'm taking the challenge. My plan is to write 2,300 words a day, five days a week. I'm armed with an outline and a lot of coffee.

Have you given to the Red Cross for Sandy relief yet?

Twenty-two things you're doing wrong.

And a fox named Cropper is a man's best friend.

Happy Sunday.

Hi.

Like a Boss

"Bob, it's time to go. We've got to get home for dinner."

"Give me five more minutes, Mom. I just need to organize my guys."

Treats or Treat

The Ninja and his family had an excellent Halloween. Much trick or treat ground was covered. The candy was sorted into piles: the good stuff and the other stuff. The other stuff will be left out for the Switch Witch tomorrow. The Switch Witch will come in the night and switch out the "other" candy for something else. The something else could possibly be an Angry Birds Star Wars Jenga Death Star. The Switch Witch has heard those are cool. Or so I'm told.
