HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Monsters of Midway

Well, while I'm still recovering from my bout of deppression following the Cardinals winning
the world series, The Bears have been giving me something to cheer about. 7-0 after
a severe ass-kicking they gave to the 49ers, yeah, yeah I know..all those damned St.
Louis Rams fans keeping telling me "well that's only because the Bears have a light early
schedule and they have been playing bad teams". Yeah, well a hearty hi-ho f.u. too you to.
Let me enjoy my football season !!

Not In My Life Time

Always about this time of year, I always get a liitle down,
being a Cubs fan in Cardinals country is pretty hard.
Not only do I have to put with the abuse of Deadbird fans,
I get to watch them gloat as their team once again gets
in the play-offs. I'm rooting like mad for the Mets, but
with one game in the balance...anything can happen.
I'm pulling for the Tigers in the world series. Thank God
I at least have football and my Bears team on top right now!

Martha gets in the spirit

About this time of year I go check Martha Stewart's website because she usually
has some cool Halloween ideas that I pass on to my wife. Who knew Martha
could be so goulish.....http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=learn-cat&id=cat20519&rsc=090506_slot3

Music for October

Opeth has to be one of my favorite bands ever and they are so damned hard to classify.
Are they Death Metal? Progressive Metal? Folk Metal? How about all of the above?
Damnation was a departure for what Opeth usually does, no heavy riffs or loud growls
just quiet reflective music that sounds like a combo of Pink Floyd, King Crimson & Camel.
With Porcupine Tree's Steve Wilson at the helm doing the producing, piano & keyboard work
and helping out with the song writing, Damnation is a perfectly haunting cd to listen to
on a cool lonely October night!

Mood for October

It's a cold crisp October morning here in the mid-west and Halloween is in the air.
There is always local Haunted Houses to visit this time of year...but my favorite
would have to be "Terror on the square" in Petersberg IL. It was actually an
old funeral parlor and they use it every year as a haunted house. And they do it well
with state of the art special effects and ghostly illusions. Check it out :http://www.terrorontheweb.com/home.html

An exercise in stupidity

All righty then..everyone has a freakin' blog..why not me?
