giving thanks

“Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.”
~Edward Sandford Martin

To my family, friends, and kitties who have been there for me, thank you.

documentation

It's official.  I have a new driver's license, voter, and vehicle registration/plates.  In the process, I also obtained a copy of my social security card, which I misplaced somewhere along the way.  For the first time I am not a resident of Wisconsin and I have the documentation to prove it.  WOW.  I wouldn't have guessed I would have resided anywhere else than in the Milwaukee area.

animalistic

Went to the local zoo the other day. Decided to join the zoological society and get an annual pass. Cant't think of a better way to spend a nice day wandering among wildlife. It was a warm afternoon, in the upper sixties, lots of animals to see. I had a great time, plan on doing it often.

village of the damned

It's been 30 days since I appeared in the city of. The overall experience has been good, getting to know the lay of the land, finding my way around, familiarizing myself with the city. I am slowly figuring things out. It's been an adventure. Saturday was Halloween. Trick or Treat was from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. I had no idea of the time and wasn't thinking of it either. About 4:50pm there's a knock at the front door. It's a carload of kids without costumes. No candy available to hand out, I retreat to the back bedroom to wait out the duration, since the blinds are pulled and the tv off. I hear more pounding at the door and obsenities being shouted. Throughout the evening I could hear the sounds of revellers out on the streets. It sure sounded like Halloween . . .
