G’Day, Pirate Janey...((HUGS))...my iPad won’t connect here at work lately. They say the DSL is down, but my AT&T should kick in. On Thursday I will ask for help.

I’ll watch your linki when I get home.

You ready for a Halloween party?

[left that other site]

Oh...Halloween Music for Halloween Night (Thursday) would be my vote! :-)

I LOVE spooky Classical. It was also my daddy’s favorite!

Didn’t hear much chamber music growing up, but Symphonie Fantastique and Night on Bald Mountain were perennial favorites!

Not to mention Bach’s toccata and fugue in Dm, a great “Haunted House” theme.

I got “you should be a flower”......

Good evening, Connie, and thank you for the tributes to the troops. *HUGS*

Did you have a better Tuesday? An easy commute?

I had not a single dumb phone call today. It’s a good thing, because I had a bushel of things to correct before we ran the edits.

Hi Kathy - yeppers, the local pub is all decked out for party time. We’re supposed to show up with costumes and all ... then of course comes the voting. Great local band will be there - they play stuff from the 60’s and up. They do a perfect Beach Boys and Buddy Holley stuff - probably close the place down around 2am. I love it here. R/Janey

Hi Conor!!!

[ConorMacNessa]

Hi, Kathy!

*HUGS*

The evening commute, which started out as easy, turned into an absolute disaster! I was blindsided by a new construction project that shuts off my preferred route out of D.C. Unfortunately, this is a long-term closure. I will have to divert to some alternative routes I haven't traveled since the late 60's.

Beautiful weather here - high 60's tomorrow - 70's Thursday and Friday.

You Should Be a Ghost for Halloween

You are kinda shy. You don't really care much for socializing except with good friends
When you get dressed up for Halloween, you're just trying to hide a little. It's the one time of the year it's okay to wear a mask.

To be honest, Halloween makes you want to lock the door, turn out the lights, and wait for it to be over.
It's a huge step if you even hand out candy on Halloween. Sometimes you're too shy for even that! Shy, heck! You want all the candy for yourself!

......till they all come home.....

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Capt. Humbert "Rocky" Versace, USA, MOH

29 October 1969 – Capt. Versace is captured by Viet Cong forces in Thoi Binh District, An Xuyen Province. His conduct during the operation in which he was captured and his conduct during his imprisonment, torture and execution by the enemy.

CITATION:

"FOR CONSPICUOUS GALLANTRY and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty: Captain Humbert R. Versace distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism during the period of 29 October 1963 to 26 September 1965, while serving as S-2 Advisor, Military Assistance Advisory Group, Detachment 52, Ca Mau, Republic of Vietnam. While accompanying a Civilian Irregular Defense Group patrol engaged in combat operations in Thoi Binh District, An Xuyen Province, Captain Versace and the patrol came under sudden and intense mortar, automatic weapons, and small arms fire from elements of a heavily armed enemy battalion. As the battle raged, Captain Versace, although severely wounded in the knee and back by hostile fire, fought valiantly and continued to engage enemy targets. Weakened by his wounds and fatigued by the fierce firefight, Captain Versace stubbornly resisted capture by the over-powering Viet Cong force with the last full measure of his strength and ammunition. Taken prisoner by the Viet Cong, he exemplified the tenets of the Code of Conduct from the time he entered into Prisoner of War status. Captain Versace assumed command of his fellow American soldiers, scorned the enemy’s exhaustive interrogation and indoctrination efforts, and made three unsuccessful attempts to escape, despite his weakened condition which was brought about by his wounds and the extreme privation and hardships he was forced to endure. During his captivity, Captain Versace was segregated in an isolated prisoner of war cage, manacled in irons for prolonged periods of time, and placed on extremely reduced ration. The enemy was unable to break his indomitable will, his faith in God, and his trust in the United States of America. Captain Versace, an American fighting man who epitomized the principles of his country and the Code of Conduct, was executed by the Viet Cong on 26 September 1965. Captain Versace’s gallant actions in close contact with an enemy force and unyielding courage and bravery while a prisoner of war are in the highest traditions of the military service and reflect the utmost credit upon himself and the United States Army."

You Should Be a Vampire for Halloween

You are charming and even a bit seductive. People are inexplicably drawn to you. When you get dressed up for Halloween, you really don't have to give it much thought. The right idea just seems to come to you.

You are powerful and alluring. You like to play hard to get... you always lave people wanting more. You are a dangerous person, and that's part of your appeal. Others know they should stay away from you, but they just can't help themselves.

;)

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...how is Self Spoon Feeding 101 coming along?

Is Maddie ready for Halloween?
