And another thing!

Where's my handbag?



Okay, I don't know where that came from but it just popped into my head. I need to get out more. It's hard when I am hiding from presidential speeches in my own home. Me and fourteen local schoolchildren huddled in a back closet trying to avoid the indoctrination process of the socialist....What? They're not socialists? He was just trying to inspire kids to do better?

Oh, never mind.

People are silly. I've said it before and I'll say it again, people are the only thing holding the human race back from greatness.

But on to other thoughts.

I watched a great documentary tonight, "Painting with Fire." It is a documentary on the great Frank Frazetta. He is a legendary illustrator that I consider one of my biggest influences. I actually had him do an illustration for one of my clients. Talking to him was so funny. I was gushing and stumbling ver my words as I talked to one of my "heroes". When I told him he was a hero of mine he said, "What? Why would you have me for a hero I just paint pictures. You should pick a ballplayer or something." I told him I couldn't because I was too nerdy to be a ballplayer so artists would have to do.

It's getting colder now and the days are starting to get short. Kids are back in school (unless their parents listen to Glenn Beck). Leaves are starting to turn color. Life is good.

I love the fall. I like sleeping with the windows open and pulling the covers up high. I like getting out of bed into the cold morning air. It wakes you up and gets you ready for your day.

(Subject change, hang on)

Going to a benefit tomorrow night for Chicago Animal Care and Control. It is their annual fundraiser for the abandoned cats and dogs in the city of Chicago. What is up with abandoning a pet? I'll never understand leaving something so helpless out in the cold. There's no understanding some people.

I think I am going to go apple picking sometime soon. It's fun to wander around with friends picking apples and pumpkins and basically getting ready for the holiday season. Not that I celebrate much. The holidays I mean. Of course, I drink a lot and never turn down an invitation to a party, but the actual observance of the days was never really my thing. I think this year I may change that.

Not too much, but maybe a tree for the holiday, a fall planting in the garden (okay, the flower boxes off my back deck), fill the house with gourds. No corn stalks though, too creepy.

(Subject change, again?)

Hard to keep my thoughts straight tonight. Jumping around too much, a little wired. I don't know why. I think I'll go read a little now.

I really should let those fourteen kids out of the back closet and where is my handbag?

Cheers!
