Sring forward...fall back. Spring forward...fall back.
Eventually I'll remember these things.

Wicked cool day yesterday. Got up early and helped M. paint an elementary school as a community service project. (I did the doors.) Then, on the way home, stopped in at a thrift shop to see about assembling a halloween costume. What did we find hanging in the back? Two boiler suits, just the size to fit M. and me. And verily, inspiration struck. With a bit of craftyness, some wings, and a couple of glittery plungers we became... [drumroll] ...FAIRY PLUMBERS. What? It was funny, really. Especially the antenna.

On the way back from the party, we ended up in a bar just before closing time. There was much costumed tomfoolery going on in there. I think my favorite was the jumpsuited Elvis and Glenda the Good Witch swing dancing to ABBA's "Dancing Queen". Only on Halloween, baby. Only on Halloween.
