Shots of my most recent trip to Africa
Yah-haw, back from Ah-freak-Ah! Pics to go up shortly. Nice encounters with lions, ostriches and sharks.
If everything goes according to plan, I should be in Malawi by January 15. Not much planned except getting a 4x4 and touring the country.
And then, it's off to Cape Town, SA, to meet up with Kelly. 12 days of driving to follow. Up through Namibia.
When we hit Cape Town again, there's cage diving with the Great Whites waiting for us. As usual,...

Photos from Halloween events I attended
Oh man, Halloween was a blast this year. I got to be in Ottawa again for it, saw some old friends and some new friends, and went to a few events. I was missing it.
Pictures in my pics section. I was the High Voodoo Priest.

What does one do for work on Halloween night?
I used to be a lot better at it, making elaborate costumes and hopping through as many parties as I could. It's a little tougher when you're away from your home turf, of course; but I made up for it this year, I think.
Looking forward to the day I can host my own haunted house.

Oh man, "Seed of Chucky" was sooo bad. That'll do it for the schlocky comedy / slasher movie quota in the run-up to Halloween. The best part was the closing credit montage, which is all one needs to watch. I suspect the opening death scene was a nod to Lee Remick tumbling from the balcony in "The Omen".
I need something better. Friday, I think...

FedEx or Customs?
I FedEx'ed a load of Halloween greeting cards to my buddy Dan in Barrie so that he could mail them out to friends and family, for me. I'm temporarily out-of-country and wouldn't be back soon enough to get them out in time for Halloween.
Each card went into a sealed, addressed 6x9 envelope. The 40 envelopes went into this bigger FedEx cardboard...

Bats returning to the bell tower: memories of childhood Halloween
My usual month-long preparations for the Most Awesome Time of Year have only just begun. Yes, on October 17.
It's not that I haven't been thinking about it. I start thinking about it on November 1st, like the Mayor character in that movie the goth kids like so much -- only I'm old enough to...

Just a couple more weeks before that best night of nights. Okay, it's really become a whole month, for me. But the weekend of is what's making it interesting. I'm coming home for it, this time. Finally able to spend it with good friends, even though most of them have moved away. Oh well. Still a good time. And I get to have shawarmaa, again....
