What a fantastic month - and to see all the Halloween decorations from years past and of course I forget them every year, so it's a fun surprise to unwrap them and place them ever so carefully all over the living room and I gotta say the three flower-covered pumpkins with Grumpy the vulture and Ferdinand the ghoul guarding them on the kitchen table is the most fun.

Since I didn't know it was the Fall Equinox and thus didn't join in all the naked dancing in the woods around a lovely fire, I've probably been cursed by the Equinox Minions.

Pre-season football is here but the REAL season begins on September 9th with Seattle Seachickens (all right, Seahawks, but since I’m from S.F. we simply have to make as much fun of their name as we can) versus the New England Patriots, home of the GOAT.
