“Matthew couldn’t even go to the bathroom by himself.” “Yes, he could.” “No, he couldn’t” “He couldn’t?” “No.”

Frightening Bride!

Spooks are coming. It’s getting closer to Halloween and the decorations are starting to show up at your local place of shopping and retail. I was walking into one said place and happened to see this little adorable spook. It’s no Annabelle, but it still spooked me. That’s why I took a picture: so I can treasure it in the dark nights of autumn.

Boo!

“No, Dave, it isn’t odd, it is reality, and you’d better buckle your seatbelt, because reality SUCKS!”

After Win Tonal

I haven’t talked about the Baltimore Orioles in a while.

I went to last Friday’s game against the hated Yankees. We won. But it felt like too little too late.

I have no confidence in the team making it into the post season. I didn’t reserve post season tickets. They were available to season ticket holders a week ago and will still be there until mid-week. I’m not wanting to buy because it will mean believing in the team. I haven’t believed since the all star break. I would love to but…

So they kept winning through this weekend and won again today. They are making a play for the division as the season wanes. I’m still questioning my decision.

Let’s go Orioles!

Frosty

Xmas stuff

It’s 70 degrees. This is frosty. He won’t be around any time soon.

Happy Holidays!

Xmas Decorations

These are silly decorations. Christmas has silly decorations. Decorations are silly. But they brighten up the night. I wish I wasn’t lazy so that I would put up some decorations myself. Not these. These are too silly.

Wreath at the Grave

Wreaths at rest

I can’t help but think of my dad…

I’m sure he would’ve been proud of me…

I’m sure he would also be repeating his last words to me…

I miss him so but more during the holidays for his heartwarming laugh. Like Santa!

Door. Wreath. Reflection of the Season?

Wreaths at rest

The wreath is hung on the door. It’s getting to be Christmas. Except the weather’s been mild — not too many cold days and too many warm days. At least it’s December.

I’m too lazy to hang holiday lights. I haven’t put up my miniature Christmas tree since ’08 or ’09. I still do the wreath on the door. And I will play some Christmas Music.

Xmas Bush

Xmas Bush

Lights go up. It’s almost Christmas time. Breaking out the cash to pay for the presents. Who gets what? Who doesn’t get anything? Those who give. Those who receive. I can’t believe this, I’m ready for snow.

Hidden Beach

Sunset @ HIdden beach, Ko'Alina

Dateline, Hawaii. Not today, but early this year. A sunset to remember. Thank you.
