tumultuous

Thinking about the past year brings one word to mind.  Moments to remember, ones I'd rather forget, but definitely an interesting year if I say so myself.  The trip to Disney, Amtrak train rides, Fort Lauderdale, moving to Florida, moving to South Bend, Going to the casino, scrabble games, Saturday morning coffee, Sunday night movies, job hunting, Museums are just a few things that have made 2009.  Mom and Dad, Pat and Toni, Scott and Barb, Tim and Julia, Julie, Jody, Char, Christine, Jan, Michael, Shane, Doug, Rocco, Boris, Peanut, Jeff, Richard, Louie, Java Monster Thank you all so much for being there when I needed you, you all are angels . . . Here's to 2010 a year of wonder and wonderful.

that time of year

I finally got the tree up and decorated today, after several trips last week to various stores to find the right tree.  I figured today would be a good day since there's snow on the ground now. 

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 . . .
