Old Age Day by Day October 11, 2013

Well, our team lost.  No more playoffs, no World Series.  We watched the game at our daughter's house, and it was a glum experience.  As Yogi Berra would say, "Deja vu all over again".  Sigh.  Tonight the three of us are seeing "Gravity".  Something to distract us.  Now comes the movie season where there are grown up films vying for the Oscars, and so lots to see.  I've already liked "Rush", "Museum Hours" and "Enough Said", so I'm off to a good start.  I also want to see "Captain Phillips". 

I'm off this morning to take my foster granddaughter to a pumpkin patch and then lunch.  She has the day off school for some unknown reason.  We will choose pumpkins and also a couple of Halloween decorations, as is our custom.  They also have live animals like chickens, goats and pigs, so we have fun.  Halloween is great holiday, in my book.  Costumes are always a good idea, and pumpkins are amazing.  The goblins, witches and other folk are fascinating to kids, as a representation of the fears we all have and struggle with.  And for one night, we can be the thing we fear.  Very sound psychologically.
