Keely Cat has been “bagged.”

“Who says I even want a Halloween costume?” he asks. “And nobody but you has those tasty fish-flavored treats anyway.”

Message of the Day – Imagination

Whose imagination should I write of today?

My son’s with his insistence that he wanted to be a yellow airport rescue truck just like he saw on the fire truck video?

Or my wife’s, who put together this Halloween costume when our now 12-year old was 3?

You will notice that the Styrofoam bumpers, spray painted black, come from a computer box and the hose is a clothes dryer hose.

My son loved it.
