Happy 80 degree November! This is awesome! Global warming? Bring it on!

Had a fun Halloween - I freaked out plenty of kids at my door, wearing my shimmering robe (see above) while employing my "Khaz-hikah-istan" accent. To those unfortunate souls who treated without costumes I offered advice: "If you have no costume, you must have a big character!" Yeah, whatever.

Party was fun - stayed way too late and drank too much, but fortunately my wife can drive. When I get my party on, time just flies by. There are worse flaws.

That was the end of October - now November is here, and it is time to get serious about a couple things. First, I have several projects I'd like to explore, work on, and/or complete as appropriate. First among them are the Artemis movies - see below for the first one. I'm a couple months behind, which is weird because when I look at the old footage, she looks quite different. Good thing we have lots of footage!

November is also my "dry" month this year - no alcohol. It's a good habit to make sure I can go a somewhat long period of time without any alcohol just to ensure I am not developing an addiction - and to clean out my system and reset my tolerence to a lower (and therefore cheaper) level. It would also be a good time to start exercising again - but we'll see how that works out, so to speak.
