I need a vacation
Ok, maybe not from the intermittent blogging, but I'm just feeling spent. And sore.
Wife and Daughter went camping with girl scouts Friday into Saturday, left me home with the boy. Friday night we watched Spider-Man
, and on Saturday we played in the street - he was Spidey on his bike, I was Green Goblin, on the skateboard. You have to have seen the movie, the bad guy has some flying surfboard thing..... anyhow, after an hour or so of reckless fun I'm just standing on the board, enjoying the October weather, when in less the a second the board flies out from under me, I hit the pavement real hard, and I just lay there trying not to move, hoping nothing is broken. I manged to get up and limp in - minor hip bruise, elbow bruise, and pain from my neck down through my collarbone/shoulder/arm that is still ringing two days later. I'll get back on the skateboard, I think the deal was, as long as I was going up and down the street I was fine, but tryig to stand still, pointing ACROSS the street is a problem as the pavement is crowned - as I almost was, too.
Throughout the day, we shared our appreciation for October, even enjoying our new favorite Halloween tune. Yeah, that's the guy from the B-52s .... surprised I missed this the first time around.

We should find some of our pictures from Roundup and send them in. Or was everything on slides?
Now that's the kind of story I turn to this blog to read!
You listen to that song with your kids?

Fair Question - DJ actually played it on the radio while I was getting up in the morning, and the young'n was hanging out. A caller requested something for the Holiday, like "Monster Mash", and that was the alternative they presented. A bit risque, arguably, but that does not make it any less funny. By the way, it's been a week, my neck/collarbone/shoulder still hurt....
