Sorry there was no Monday update post at lunch, but I needed my entire lunch hour to go Halloween costume shopping. It was a partial success. The good news is, I upgraded my gangster costume, so I have something to wear to the Blind Bear party on the 26th. I have an idea for another costume to wear to the Saucer (27th), Goose (31st), and a private party on the 2nd. Right now it’s a work in progress. I may have to go costume shopping again tomorrow at lunch.<\/p>\n
