had an interesting phone day yesterday... excellent discussions with a doctor, a teacher, and Nikki. And two phonecalls with the 'bonehead brigade'.

Today I work a small shift and possibly try to attend the cribbage tournament tonight. Tomorrow I finish sorting out things for this weekend (Scrabble tournament). House, paperwork, triple check with the chicks. Friday begins the go-go-go until Monday... Friday night we might attempt to go see Big Nurse, too. Boys are ready and excited for Halloween, we've been to quite a few parties already.

A big, warm hug and gentle kiss to the cheek for my buddy, Randy, in Nebraska.
