Lots has happened in the past six or seven weeks.....

In mid September sadly enough I had a friend commit suicide. Now I hadn't seen this friend in nearly 4 or 5 years, but he has always been near and dear to my heart. Randy was the type who made you laugh even when he felt like crying. He touched your life in an intellectual way that no one else could possibly think of the creative to reach. He was talented, creative, funny, and a wonderful person who felt as though his life needed to end so suddenly. I still have the birthday card he made for me 6 years ago, proudly displayed on my bullentin board. He will be missed by all of us....Nikki,Clover,Billy,Steve,Joe,Chisty,Kris,Brian,and even Stephanie & I wish you would have reach out instead of giving up. May you rest in peace my friend.

The month of October was pretty blah. Lots of political discussion, LOTS of work to be done. But I did take some time off to go up north to visit my ailing grandpa and introduce Dayne to the extended family. He was well liked (as I knew he would be), and it was nice to be out of town. We did get to tour the Liene's Lodge and Brewery.....fun times had by all. Holloweenie was spent with Kivi and Dayne at a road rally....we placed second out of all the beginners! WE ROCK!!! Although we missed half the stuff we were supposed to find but who cares we had fun...and fought, but mostly had fun. One sad note to October was when Dayne and I came home from up north, we sadly found my Fattie (the fattest cat in the world) paralyzed in the basement. Turns out he had a kitty heart attack and needed to be put out of his misery. It was sad and devastating and hurt A LOT, but it was for the best and he's in kitty heaven now eating all the tuna and ham off the table he wants :)

Now, November....well November hasn't started out the greatest either. No more time off...for a while anyway since were booked solid financially. Bush looks like he won the election so now we have to put up with the racist, sexist, moralistic, bigot bastard that doesn't even have a grasp on the English language for the next four years.....yay....wait NO...BOO. My life will go on even with him in office, but it would've been nice to see a realistic thinker in office. Hopefully the rest of the month will go well......we'll see, we'll see. I am happy for one thing though.... NO MORE POLITICAL ADS, SIGNS, OR RETARDED TELEMARKETERS CALLS! YEAH!!!!!
