On Being Young
Turns out you can be a spring chicken at nearly any age. You just have to hang out in the right places.

The Future is Now. Apparently.
I came across this scene while walking around the local CVS parking lot with Charlie yesterday:
It seems that we have a parking lot philosopher in our midst.
Or a prognosticator, like the developer of this film from 1955:
Or maybe a music fan. There are a few songs by that title kicking around. Some worse than others. (I'll let you do the YouTubing to find out.)
But regardless of which category the painter falls into, I wonder about the choice of medium. Why a rusty iron pole? Why the CVS parking lot?
The more I walk around in this world, the more questions I have.

NaNoWriMo Update
National Novel Writing Month progresses, and I'm surviving.
Better than surviving, even. I like it.
I'm not really grumpy. I don't look like this yet:
I've done pretty well in keeping on top of my word counts. The stuff I'm producing isn't mindless claptrap. I haven't had to resort to having a character sing the star spangled banner. Yet.
So far, so good.
19,822 words written this month. 42,421 in the book total.
This just may work.

Mystery Photo: What is it? Or rather, why?
Yesterday I helped sort items for St. Paul's Church Fall Festival. While there, I came across this little guy.
I don't understand it. He appears to be a hedgehog with a child's Christmas sock sewn to his back.
Please tell me you have an explanation. I'm serious. Please.

Halloween Gleanings
Look what I found on the sidewalk while walking Charlie this morning!
Halloween gleanings! My favorite!
Day 2 and I'm not yet overwhelmed or grumpy
I just completed my words for day 2 of NaNoWriMo. So far I'm off to a good start.
Check out the little progress gizmo I added to the top of the column on the right --------------->
Nifty, yes?
Feeling thankful to whoever thought up the idea of NaNoWriMo, even though it's hard to pronounce. It just might get my book wrapped up sometime within this decade.
