My foster granddaughter and I had a lot of fun looking at Halloween decorations and picking out pumpkins. We each got a sort of bluish pumpkin/gourd and bright white perfect little pumpkins, and I got an orange one with a crazy stem and a squash that looked like a giant acorn. She got one with green stripes, a couple of tiny orange ones and one more traditional pumpkin. There were two baby pigs, two baby goats and six ducks as well. We then went to our favorite ice cream parlour and she had the grilled cheese and onion rings and I the turkey blt. The highlight there was her scoop of swiss milk chocolate ice cream.
Then in the afternoon we went with our younger daughter to see "Gravity", which was amazingly good, and a beautiful metaphor of life as well. Sandra Bullock was wonderful. We then went to a pizza place and discussed the movie and the late lamented A's season.
In between all this I was reading "Joseph Anton", which is so gripping and well written. Salman Rushdie exposes himself warts and all, and his courage with this book mirrors his determination not to pretend something to get out of the fatwa. What an astounding story!
