Halloween - and Crumpa drops by...

It's been quite a week.

All the hubbub of learning the new gig has turned time back on it's head. My first week back at Regence was a whirlwind of meetings, brain dumps and the usual mental traffic. Suffice to say, time blew by, and we were suddenly knocking on the door of Halloween - and the emergence of Mr. Roboto - in all his silvery glory.

After a long day at the office, we quickly connected at home and headed over to a nearby senior center to see Marcia's family and visit her grandma. The girls were drop-dead cute...especially Keira, who was in full Wizard of Oz mode, dressed as Dorothy...right down to the red shoes.



After a short visit (and and few hundred photos), we headed over to visit Chris, Windy and Ember - and try the house to house routine in their neighborhood. Weather forcasts were thankfully wrong - and instead of slogging through a night rain, the three of us enjoyed a quick and enjoyable night of ghosts and ghoulies. Greermonster cleaned up in the packaged sugar department - and was the frequent recipient of positive comments on his robotic veneer.

Home again....Greer counted out his candy, and then promptly sacked out, just before his Crumpa arrived for a quick overnight visit. While our little beastie cut a few logs, we holed up in the basement, and watched the Blazers win a thrilling home opener against San Antonio.

The next morning we enjoyed a leisurely wake-up, and set ourselves to visit the 72nd Avenue Pub for brunch. Opting for footpower, we hiked the short distance to our favorite new hang and settled in for some fantastic grub. Even Crumpa (and his hollow leg) were satiated.

All in all, a great way to start a weekend.
