Pumpkin Carving

We waited until the last minute this year... but hey. Fresh jack-o-lanterns for Halloween!

As usual, the key elements are tools, pumpkins...

Careful design work...

dedication...

...and many hands to make light the work!

We were pretty pleased with the end products.

athen-o-ween!

Every year, athen-o-ween is Syl's "favorite holiday!"

You can see why.

Syl thinks of my team as her friends. She has known some of them, like Jackie here, for basically her whole life!

There's Finley again!

Finley

My colleague Liz and her husband, Jake, had us over to dinner last Sunday. Their daughter, Finley, is about the cutest thing ever.

She likes beer...

... and pizza...

...and cookies!

Go Sox!

Another item off the bucket list. I was fortunate to take in Game 2 of the World Series with my buddy Jimmy, in some ridiculously good seats!!

We had basically the same view as the players.

First inning, Jimmy caught a ball!

A friend snapped this screen shot of us on TV.

Sox win!
