Kevin's Hetero MFM Poly-Fi V

Oh hey, not to spam your blog here, but are you aware of the activities they do every year in the south Capitol Way neighborhood? We went a few times. It's AMAZING.

It's like a block party, only it's many blocks, and lots of costumed adults and kids, and SO MANY decorated houses... We saw:

- A house with about a million amazing pumpkins (pro artist level carving)
- A house with a bluegrass band on a porch
- A wandering troupe of jazz musicians dressed as skeletons
- Decorations and costumes EVERYWHERE.

It's really a fun feast for the eyes, and if I still lived up in that region, it'd be one of my top 2 or 3 options for Halloween any given year.

If you (or anyone) is/are interested... We parked at the "Lincoln Options Elementary School" and walked over to Capitol Way.

Whatever you do, I hope you have lots of fun!

EDIT: OK I'm done with my nostalgia jaunt... ;)

The 3 days a year you get to see it.:p
The big ass volcano within striking distance of Seattle, Olympia and a bunch of cities with really funny names that only locals can pronounce.

It's pyuu-AL-up. ;)

Pretty sure I learned the pronunciation of that from a car dealership commercial.
 
Puyallup has a great all-you-can-eat sushi place ... ohhh, now I'm getting hungry.

I just learned this one a week ago! It stumped me for a year before I finally heard a local say it.
 
Yeah I, too, learned it from a local.
 
Most weeks, Brother-Husband and Snowbunny are both working from Wednesday thru Friday, so I have the house to myself. Today started out overcast, but now we are getting some Sun. Brother-Husband was watching the World Series last night, but I couldn't tell you who won. The cats are both snoozing here in my room, Lady on the cushion in front of the window, Rainee on the bed. I know, this is a lot of excitement, I'll try not to overload you. :cool:
 
Kitties are exciting! ^.^
 
Lady recently roused herself up and left the room. Rainee's still on the bed.

I couldn't find Lady at first this morning and I got worried. Then I tried the back room, and she chirped at me from way on top of the shelving unit. I have no idea how she got up there. I grabbed a chair from the kitchen so I could reach her and help her down.

And that was today's kitty adventure. :)
 
Election Day is coming closer, and I'm nervous about it. It's looking like Clinton will win it, but it's too close a call for my comfort. Also, Trump has threatened not to accept the outcome of the election, and I'd like to know what if anything he's got up his sleeve.

Other than bluster and rednecks?

lol...sorry.

I was so happy to vote early. We have ballot drop off boxes all over town, and they mailed me a ballot, I filled that sucker out and dropped it off the very next day on my lunch break. I just wanted it over with, and I didn't want to think about it any more.

Bernie is gonna be here in my town tomorrow. I'm considering trying to go to that event. I'd love to meet him...but I've got stuff I need to get done, though...we'll see.
 
Yeah, we got our ballots mailed to us too, and we have lots of ballot drop-off boxes. I, too, was glad to get the job done and over. Now I just have to hope.
 
The college I go to emailed all the students to say that they will have on-call crisis counselors available Tuesday and Wednesday for students experiencing anxiety, distress, or stress regarding the election and/or its outcome.

At first I laughed, but if the great orange one gets elected, who knows? Maybe I'll need some counseling myself.
 
Yeah, I'm a little scared, a little nervous. The great orange one would make me chuckle if he hadn't come so close to winning the Presidency. I'd be very frightened if he won. I suppose life would go on, but it's impossible to predict all the things that would go wrong and end badly. I fear that the country wouldn't move forward, but it might move very fast in every other direction.
 
:( ... I guess we get to find out what happens if Trump is President. Let's hope his bark is way bigger than his bite.

I think what went wrong is that people painted Trump and Clinton as equally bad candidates. Thus, they didn't make great efforts to see that Clinton got elected. Which resulted in a race that was far too close.

Gods, I'm so depressed.
 
I'm somewhat more resigned about "President Trump" than I was a few days ago. But I'm worried. There's a lot of things that could go wrong.

Brother-Husband and Snowbunny often go out on Sundays ... and sometimes I get invited to tag along. But the weather looks cold and gloomy today, so I think we are all staying home. Brother-Husband might be taking a nap right now.

Both cats are in my room, snoozing on the window cushion. And that's my report for today.
 
Yesterday Snowbunny was at work, but Brother-Husband was home and took me out to eat (at a local diner). After that we watched a movie, it was a little (a lot) cheesy, but I was a good sport about it. It was called "Secretary" and came out in 2002.

The cats are both on "the window cushion," Rainee is snoozing and Lady is looking intently out.

This concludes today's report.
 
I just started reading your blog yesterday. I haven't finished it yet. I just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about LV. My dad had dementia before he passed away. It's very hard on the family.

Also Trump winning made me depressed for a little bit. It stirred up feelings of resentment I had towards the church I didn't realize I had.
 
I'm really depressed and angry about the Trump thing. I think I'm even more depressed and angry that Obama had to endure eight years of very stubborn Republican majority in the House and Senate.

Re: LV ... I still often think about her, and dream about her, and that's depressing. I was not the kind of husband I should have been, especially during her last 10+ years. Boy what I'd do for a time machine.

Thanks for reading my blog, I know it's not very exciting.
