I still have so many October pictures I want to do, but only a week left to take them. I have just been so busy. I am helping to decorate for a huge Halloween party on Friday. It's in a very large old storefront in the 'hood. The storefront is not yet habitable, so we get to decorate it however we want for the party. It's looking pretty good, but it takes a lot of work to decorate such a large place (it's half a block long).

Other recent doings....we saw a fun play on Friday, Castro's Beard. The theater was very small, just about six rows of seats configured right around the set, so everybody was very close. It was quite humorous, and the best part was that the playwright, an actor from the BBC series "The Office" was there. Afterward, he and the actors (who had changed into shorts and T-shirts) came out for a Q&A session with the audience.
