We usually put our Halloween pumpkin out on the front stoop. The local critters nibble at if for a while, and then sooner or later there\u2019s rain and it starts to turn mushy and we have to get rid of it. This year we haven\u2019t had any rain, and the squirrels have really be having a feast, so it\u2019s looking, uh, really interesting.<\/p>\n

In other news, Lizzy turned 13 recently. Yes I am now the parent of a teenager. She\u2019s also now 5\u20197\u201d, having really shot up the last few months. That’s a few inches taller than her mother. Wow. We had a party for her at our favorite local restaurant, the Oriental Palace. It was in the post-hurricane period and feels like a blur to me. After her birthday party Lizzy went on a shopping date with her friend Ella, who shares the same birthday, and bought lots of clothes. They were very excited.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Erik and I resumed jamming. At this point we\u2019re a little rusty, but it feels good to get back in it. Like I said, now that my book is done, getting back into playing music is a major goal for the winter. This includes doing a few more live gigs.<\/p>\n

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Jeanne\u2019s parents house. Not thinking about work for a few days. Mary and Lou were there. They\u2019re in the middle of putting a second story on their house. Looks like they\u2019re off to a good start. It only took a week get the walls, roof and windows up. Lou wants to record and EP of some more of his songs and asked my to produce it It sounds like a fun project.<\/p>\n

Michelle is all excited about a new Nintendo thing she wants to get.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
