Well, I know I was supposed to be jamming on the ballot issues and all that, but instead I had shifted gears to try to get the September Top Ten out. Well, and several other things. Amy had a birthday party sleepover thing Saturday night, so there was a lot of cleaning and getting ready for that. Then the counting for the Top Ten. Normally that takes me a couple hours. But this time due to the hard drive explosion I was trying to pull together data from several different places, and working all day Sunday was just not enough, so it didn’t get out.

I did take a break Sunday for a little bit to watch Brandy and Amy carve the traditional Halloween watermelon. The red toothy grin managed to scare many small goblins who showed up att he door. Well… actually we had about 15. A little less than I expected given how many kids seem to be around normally. But they were cute and they had costumes.

Today though I won’t work much on completeing the count for the top ten, because now that I have missed that deadline, the election is more pressing. Today Brandy and I will try to get our Florida driver’s licences (we should have done that months ago) to make the whole voting thing easier. (Rather than using something from the list of alternative IDs.)

And I’m going to try to spend the next 24 hours pressing through the rest of the ballot figuring out what I am going to do…

I’d post some pictures of our watermelon and other decorations, but I am lazy.
