Movie recommendation
I saw BeerFest last night while drinking Sierra Nevada's Fall Hops something-or-other special beer. The movie is hysterically immature. I recommend it to all who enjoy stuff like that. Now, because my dad's beer party is meant for the appreciation of beers, rather than mass chugging, none of the games in the BeerFest movie ever come into play. Somehow, they made it look okay for 30-somethings to play frat basement games.
One pretty cool thing I saw once in the fall was in college. A building on campus was covered in ivy (it is an Ivy League school, after all), and when the colors changed for the fall, the ivy was still green at the base of one wall, and then yellow, orange, and red at the top, for a kind of rainbow effect.
I need to check out hockey schedules around here. Connecticut's got a couple of minor league teams (and that's AFTER the Whalers left 10 years ago....sigh.) where $15 or so gets you in. Hockey season starts way too early. Even Canada doesn't have snow and ice yet, right?
The chicken fingers at my cousin's wedding last weekend weren't very good at all, nor the fries. But I still made out better than getting one of the adult meals. I didn't like what was served to the grown-ups. The best part is when a Saturday wedding counts as going to church for the weekend. The goof-offs in our pew didn't get out of the way for communion, though....so they took our seats and we ended up between some of them who did go up for communion and those who didn't.
If it stops raining, it'll be pumpkin-buying time tomorrow. I'm not much of a good carver. I make the same old triangle-eye, 3-tooth mouth design.
Maybe the Red Sox will win the pennant this weekend....that would give me something to do Sunday night.

Hi Brian
Ivy sure does put on a splendid show in Autumn.The reds and browns are particularly spectacular on the wall of the Old Admiralty Building in London.
If you want a pumpkin go to my blog

I love local hockey games. Super cheap and the seats are outstanding. Plus I think some of these teams could take the Blackhawks.
Interesting, that ivy-covered building. Our house's ivy stayed dark green all year. Could it be that there was some Virginia Creeper in the midst of all the ivy?
I will know Monday morning how the Socks will have gotten out of the game. Here, tonight, it's rugby. Little daughter, now less, how needs to see it. :-)
The Sox won, of course, so I think you should try to carve your pumpkin to look like Terry Francona.
The worst part of pumpkin carving is scooping out the pumpkin brains. Oog.
I am so behind on getting to people's blogs! Ack!
Are you ready for tonight? =)
