We went to the Halloween version of Carowinds last week. Yes - I know - what was I thinking of all people... I was going for that - when was the last time you did something for the first time - again. I ended up not doing anything too adventuresome. I stood in line with friends for a good 20 minutes or so for a haunted carnival clown maze. While we were waiting in line an Armand-esque (Antonio Banderas in Interview with a Vampire for all you non Anne Rice fans) vampire walked by. Now I am all about Lestat, Louis et al. But on paper (OK Brad Pitt in person wouldn't be bad or that once rumoured Sting as Louis story line -I digress). I did OK when he walked by but about 5 minutes later I came to my senses. I had to get out of the line. I just couldn't do it. So I rode 2 rollercoasters, saw some scary creechers, dealt with ridiculous crowds and that was that.
I will probably avoid said event next year.

Happy 20th
Happy birthday - Lauren, Kelly, Cat, Carla, Mike, Nick, Anne, Fernando, Wayne and Alfred....
How crazy is that? How many people do you know with your birthday?
I think Mickey Mantle and David Lee Roth are with present company too.
A good day.

Happy Birthday Bacchus!
I can't beleive that he and I have been hanging out now for 8 years. Wow...
In some irony of my calendar I ended up traveling north of the city today for work.
It was odd in that it reminded me of the times I would drive up to China Grove to see Bacchus as a puppy before he could come home. He was so tiny. He was so cute. And it was so exciting. He's not as tiny anymore. He's still pretty darned cute. And when he gets all excited in the morning when he first sees me coming down the stairs or he's waiting at the back door when I come home from work - I would say it's still exciting as well.
What a great little guy.

Race for the Cure
Mom and Andrea came to visit this past weekend.
We all got up real early on Saturday morning, headed into town, and hoofed it for 5k for the Race for the Cure. It was a good time.
That afternoon we helped Lily celebrate her 5th birthday!
