1.I suppose the biggest news during the month of september was that gas prices dropped 47 cents a gallon. May this continue through october. 2. Went to a really fun neighborhood party up in Cragsmoor. Quite a few people came out of the woods. knew about one third of them. It was kind of like the size of an Orange Coast Christmas party. Everybody brought a dish. Some of the families go back generations like my family does, some got there during the artist colony period and most of them knew my parents at one time or another. Kind of made me feel at home. This time i had to drive there next time i will just walk over. 3.Looking forward to Octoberfest in Saint Louis. 4.Had to run over to the hospital since my handicapped brother had to go in for tests. It looks kind of serious but I am not going to get worked up until I actually speak to his doctor.I always figure if its really serious the doctor will call you. (that is if he is not out playing golf) 5. Had another Dog Dream last night. Its the fourth dog dream I have had in my entire life. This time the only person I can actually remember being in the Dream was Kent Boyles. I have no idea why. I think he was taking one of my dogs home with him I do not know from where. That is one of the things about dreams that always amazes me. You are always in some unknown place talking to someone you have not seen for a while and you do not know why. 6.Expect to be in my new home in two months. 7. Was really glad to see the tone on the list change so fast. I was getting really tired of reading about THE DOGGY HOLOCAUST. I have family in Isreal and when we sing Kol Nidre it is not for dogs. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
