Dropped K off to an early morning tutorial and decided to go to the gym for an elliptical machine workout. Caught up on a bit of morning TV in the process. Obama is getting a lot of coverage as the US gears up for elections. Apparently there's a new book out on John Lennon suggesting he had a brief thought about going to bed with his beautiful mother and even with Paul McCartney, although it was out of the question because Paul is totally heterosexual. Too bad John can no longer speak for himself. Then I picked up some snacks as L is having a Halloween party with a few friends at our house. She had hoped to use the new basement, but it's off limits until the painted stairs dry properly. K and I will go over to the cousins for trick or treating. We just have to make sure he doesn't horse around too roughly because of his recent eye surgery.
It's a nicer day today and supposed to really warm up for Halloween. I better get the pumpkin out of the side yard for carving tonight. I have lots of chocolates but typically we don't get a lot of kids.

Sounds like a fun night tomorrow. The best thing to do about candy is to buy the kind you like. You know, just in case not enough kids come by ;-)
We're going to carve our pumpkins tonight, too. After we vote.
...only 5 more days until the election is over!
Wow thats interesting about John Lennon - guess people can say anything now. I thought his mother died when he was really young anyway. Oh I hope you have a fun Halloween. How hard is it to carve a pumpkin like that. I feel I am missing out. I was once in Canda and the US near Christmas time and I so loved the way you all celebrate with candles and lights in the front of your houses. Because its so hot here at Christmas we are far more relaxed. One day maybe I will go over your way for Halloween. Oh you are good going to the gym as well!!!
Until a few years ago Hallowe'en was very low profile here,although we used to have an indoor party for our children with "duck apples" and ghostly games but now it is quite an event with children calling round "tricking and treating" although the kids always look puzzled when I ask them what the trick is. Anyway I'm ready with the sweets for any callers.( A couple of years ago one little boy got it wrong and dipped in his bag and gave me the treat ! Very impressed with him )
