"I voted for Obama, but I didn't vote for that dress..."

Everyone's blogging or writing or talking about Obama's history-in-the-making win. You can't really escape it. It's everywhere.

But today I came across an article with a different spin. An article that really delves into the important matters surrounding the election... like what the hell was Michelle Obama wearing???

Perhaps not Pulitzer Prize winning journalism, but I have to agree... what was Michelle thinking?

Halloween of Horror

An annual Halloween tradition at our house is for LB to scare the crap out of kids. This year was very successful, but not as successful as years past.

LB rigged his scary dummy on the porch propped up on a rocking chair and tightly grasping the bowl of candy. Scary sounds (thanks iTunes!) emanated from just inside. The kicker was Lorne's "Jason" mask and the use of the flash on his camera to illuminate his face. Oh and throw in a small invisible wire used to rock the scary dummy when the kids reach for candy.

Tee hee. Good time had by all.

But while we had several frightened kids that were afraid to approach the house (even with the lure of candy!)we didn't have a single one of them cry this year. Is LB losing his touch?

P.S. LB says I missed the first group of young teenage girls who apparently nearly shit themselves and ran screaming down the street. I always miss the good stuff. ;)
