Everyone Hail to the Pumpkin Song

First of all, I lied. Our Peter Paul & Mary tickets are for next Sunday, not today.

So, we are duly pumpkined and patched, cidered and doughnutted and it's now officially Halloween season. Why? Because I said so! Here in Tunaville, it was a drop-dead gorgeous day, so the Cider Mill was a veritable sea of humanity. Still in all, it was a very nice afternoon, and a great day to be outside. All the way up and back, we were singing along with the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack. If you haven't seen this movie -- you should. It's a Tim Burton film, featuring the music (and voice) of Danny Elfman, plus Catherine O'Hara (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show), Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee Herman) and others. For those of you who know this little gem, TinyTuna does an awesome Oogie Boogie. If anybody is a billionaire and doesn't know what to do with their money, I've always thought this would make one kick-ass Broadway musical. Why? Because I said so!

Tonight I got my Scottish Tuna's exams graded and submitted all the midterm grades. This weekend I award myself a passing grade on the getting-stuff-done-ometer. Lots of laundry done, Dishes mostly done, pumpkins bought, and I've gone through another milk crate of old papers. There is hope, yet.

Meanwhile, it seems there is no hope for the Lions again this season. Why? Because I said so. And because we lost another one. So, which is worse? Losing to the Cowboys, or losing to Bill Parcells? Actually it doesn't matter which you think is worse, because it's double whammy day. Parcells now coaches the Cowboys. I don't know why, but somehow it seems wrong. Bring back Tom Landry. Just prop him up in the corner. Well, eww. On second thought, let's stay away from the dead guy stuff. Vampires, you know. Maybe we could just prop up his hat.
