Trick-or-Treat

Natalie's costume this year is Mariposa. She can be seen in the pictures at right having a great time at her friend Amelia's Halloween party. Daddy braided her hair and Mamma helped her with make-up. Amelia's mom is the one whose costume is "cloudy with a chance of flurries." Check it out. Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon was trick-or-treat time here in North Canton. Oliver, with the help of Dad, became a mouse mummy. Or more specifically - Benjamin the mouse mummy. If there are any fans of Geronimo Stilton's books out there, then the previous sentence will totally make sense to you. We enjoyed trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood that has lots of kids.

Devo!

Here's a picture of me wearing an Energy Dome with Gerald V. Casale of the group Devo! I saw Devo in at the Akron Civic Center on Oct. 17. Devo came back to their hometown to play a concert to raise money for Obama. It was a great concert! Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders (another hometown hero) also showed up and played a great acoustic set. I caught an Energy Dome that Mark Mothersbaugh threw out into the audience during "Whip It." I bought a special VIP ticket so that I could meet the band at a reception after the show. I got my picture with several members of Devo.
