[WOW, my weather station says 39F and 87%RH]   Hopefully warmer and dry later.<\/p>\n<p>I like Halloween.  Don&#8217;t care about any of the overt meanings or undertones.  I like decorating and it gives me a chance to use some of my theater fag skills.  Last year was rainy, and this year is rainy, so I&#8217;m a lot behind on decorating, from where I&#8217;d like to be.  I had ideas for 3 new additions to my display this year, and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll get any of them done.  One of my rules is that it can&#8217;t take time away from other things, so they have to be pretty down and dirty, and quick.  With all the other things I&#8217;ve had going on, I just didn&#8217;t find the time.  Oh well, there is next year.  Part of me is already planning the changes to my Christmas display&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, with the rain and cold comes the aches and pains.  It&#8217;s been about 13 years since I had the cartilage in my knees cleaned up, and they are starting to ache again.  Joy.  Hands hurt, knees hurt, neck hurts, hips hurt, oh my it&#8217;s a total whine fest this morning&#8230;  still, a burden shared, and all that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I better get my grumpy kids and sick wife out of the house.  I do hope the weather gets nice for the trick or treaters.  <\/p>\n<p>n     <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>     Probably cool and wet.
