I am just really into my data right now.  I could work on it all day, unfortunately I cannot.  If it weren't for John, I'd still be at school in the "lab".  There will be Halloween pictures of John, but since I forgot my camera, I have to wait for my dad's secretary to e-mail them to me.  John refused to wear his first costume even though he played with it for a week.  I had to find him an entirely new costume on Halloween.  I let him pick it out himself.  He didn't want to be a cuddly ghost, Winnie the Pooh,  or Tigger.  He wanted to be a skeleton.  I didn't have time to buy make up so his face was not made up.  My dad thought it was morbid that I even put drops of blood on his mouth and he wiped it off. On Halloween John got to chase 8 cats and 2 dogs.  He got a ton of candy because I didn't buy him a basket in Tuscaloosa so my mom ended up buying him a pumpkin bigger than his head.  I personally don't think any child needs a container full of candy that's bigger than their head.  I can't believe how many people gave him extra candy (you can tell by the gift bags they put it in).  I understand that John is tall, but he looks 2.  My dad, the mayor, took him trick or treating so clearly my dad was not trying to get candy.  He is cute and sweet enough without his body weight in candy.  I don't need it either.

The rain ruined my 7 mile walk, and even though I did do sun salutations, the sun refused to come out from behind the clouds.

I contemplated running anyway.  I covered my head up with my hood.  Perhaps it could be fun.

Old age got the best of me.  It was too cold and too wet.  It really wasn't worth it getting sick.  I remember the freedom of never considering the consequences.
