I am somewhat disappointed about Halloween this year. The issue comes down to that SQ has a soccer game tonight in a town 50 miles away.

Don’t these folks know it’s HALLOWEEN!!

Dang.

Last night, a dude from Budweiser, the grad student, the Engineer, Squirrelly and the fabulous Mandy decided to dress me up in Budweiser flair for Halloween. Me, being me, decided it was fine. So I have a Yeungling witches’ hat with the addition of some pink “hair” which is actually ribbon which is also on someone’s cell phone right now. (Note to self: Manage your own story or you might get in trouble.) There is also one of me wearing a Harajuka hat.  Ode to joy, and I mean that.  I assure you that sometimes it is more than okay to be goofy and to have a good time. Why not? We only have one life and sometimes silly is of the much needed.

Because silly is important.

We live in a world with recession beating us down, war, poverty and a lack of stability at times. So what’s wrong with being a bit goofy when it suits us. Doesn’t hurt anyone, and if other folks don’t like it, then so be it.

I’ve been thinking a lot about finding joy lately. I don’t know why. I am in a better place than I’ve been in a long time. I think it has something to do with living life one day at a time, Yada, yada, yada.

Anyway, I’m going to try to salvage Halloween today. My braaaainnss don’t always work, but I’m going to give the ol’ cranium a spin anyway.
