My Halloween Story

This will be a quick story...
My Halloween story isn't exactly about Halloween... but it is related. Last Wednesday (10/14) I was visiting my parents at their house with my dog Charlie. The link to Halloween is simply that they had 2 rather large bowls of candy out; not uncommon for this time of year.

As I was visiting with my Mom in the living room, Charlie ran around the house as she always does and I didn't give it much thought until my Dad called me the next day at school. I didn't take the call, but the message said:

"Is your dog OK? Dad"

I didn't have any idea what that meant until I called him back. Dad informed me that Charlie had consumed one rather large bowl of gummie bears and a second bowl of candy that were wrapped in paper. No signs of any paper wrappings anywhere!!!!

I guess puppies have a strong constitution because I haven't seen any ill effects from Charlie at all and also... no signs of paper candy wrappers either. I'll spare you the details!

My Second Post

This post is supposed to be a comment about something you are interested in. Maybe you want to comment about your favorite musician or, you are upset about how the media treats your favorite actor or actress or, maybe you would like to comment on your favorite sports team. Anything goes. Just remember... it goes on the web for all to see. Keep all your comments appropriate because we will be sharing our blogs with others. I will be linking to them from my website

I'll start...
I'm excited about playing soccer for my soccer team. I play on an over 30's soccer team in a Portland league. I'm really not very good, but I still love the competition. I find it very challenging to play with men 20 years younger than me and still try to compete successfully. It also keeps me young!

I'm excited to play because we have a very good team. We have picked up several good players (Kevin Plechl is one of them... you might know who he is!!) and we have a great time playing together. We are 3-0 this year and have defeated our opponents by a combined score of 16-1. A couple games were close for a while, but in the second half, our team wears out our opponent and the "flood gates" open and a scoring barrage takes place.

I guess those are my thoughts for the day. What are you excited about or want to vent about?? Just make sure it is appropriate.
