LOOKS LIKE THE SPOOKY CASTLE IS GOING TO BE BIGGER THAN I WAS PLANNING
Monday evening we had a short meeting with the brother in-law of our Cub Master. I guess he has been doing these haunted houses in his back yard for the last eight years an has volunteered to help us out. So we talked about the plans for the Spooky Castle. My main fear was that he might try to take...

MY GRANDFATHER'S MEMORIAL SERVICE IS THIS AFTERNOON

So I am just finishing up a few things here before I head up to my sisters. We all meeting there and...

NOW THEY ARE REALLY DISAPPOINTING ME
Here we are with only a few weeks until October, the time when everyone will start getting the Halloween decorations and really start thinking about what to be for Halloween. Some stores still have not gotten all their Halloween stuff out, yet some of those same stores have several isles already set...

JUST FINISHED THE SPOOKY CASTLE SCRIPT
I've been slacking a lot lately, just not all there really. But tonight I pulled it together and got the script written for the spooky castle we are going to be doing in about a month here for Scouts. I added a room, which I now need to go back and add to my other notes for casting and prop...

I AM NOW FULLY COMMITTED TO DOING THE HAUNTED CASTLE FOR SCOUTS
We've been talking about doing it for years. Last year I wrote up my initial idea for it and this year we have now passed the point where we can't back out of it. We have fliers out telling everyone where and when. So come October 17th and 18th, ready or not, we are doing a Spooky Castle for a fund...

ALREADY TO START WORK ON THE SPOOKY CASTLE
As of last weekend it looks like we are a go with doing a haunted house as a fund raiser for Cub Scouts this year. We've talked about doing it the last few years, but it has always fallen apart. But this year we have two back yards that have been volunteered for this and more or less we have all...

I HAVE REALLY FALLEN BEHIND IN MY BLOGGING THIS WEEK
Things have been a little crazy here and I've just had a lot to do that is more important to me than blogging, so I have let it all slide for the week. Tomorrow is my day off, so hopefully I'll get a few posts done and reply to some of the comments that have been left for me. Although I hopefully...

WORLDCON HAS ENDED
It was a really fun event and I enjoyed it greatly. I hope to figure out how to get to more Worldcons in the future. Next year it is going to be in Montreal and the guest of honor is going to be Neil Gaiman. I would love to be able to make it to that one. Gaiman is my favorite writer. Then in 2010...
