Halloween yesterday
2006-11-01 07:26 am Being too lazy to come up with a costume, especially considering that I'm
one of only two or three who seem to take any note of the holiday at all,
I simply put on the skull shirt that the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}

for me. Got a couple of mentions.
Had time for a walk at lunchtime. It was my third day in regular shoes, and I didn't have any problems. Back to normal?
The kids went out trick-or-treating with separate groups of friends.
About 8:45 I walked over to jilara's (with the chaoswolf's coworker D) to see what she had done for her halloween
decorations. This year it was a convention of aliens; there was a huge
UFO hovering over a neighbor's driveway, various sizes of spider ranging
from 6" to a yard or more, and an oddly-constructed creature in which one
could recognize a pushbroom and a vacuum cleaner.
Went inside for some conversation and cat-scritching.
The only other noteworthy thing about the excursion was that, when I'm walking with somebody capable of keeping up, I seem to push my pace considerably. This time I managed to keep it reasonable -- last time I took a lunchtime walk with coworkers I got a case of shin splints that had me hobbling around for a week. I noticed a similar effect when I was back at Carleton for a reunion a few years back; somehow about being in familiar surroundings made me walk at the pace I used to use back then. Tiring, but no doubt good for me.
Crawled back into my hole and did a little more work mixing "Cicero".
I am not going to try for NaNoWriMo. It continues to tempt me, but my goal for the month is to make significant progress on my album. (That was my excuse last year, too. This time for sure!)
