Damn, people done good with the creativity for Halloween. Some great pumpkins were made and some of the costumes were wicked good. The CSI:Pumpkin is awesome, and the motion capture pumpkin is probably only funny to a select few.

It’s weird but I didn’t realize until today that I haven’t been home for the last 4 years during Halloween. It was weird to see it in action. My ‘weenyness is a little rusty. Everybody started showing up to work this morning in these great costumes and I forgot grown people actually do this! Last year on Halloween night I was on a huge overnight car ferry with two different biker gangs. One was the Coffin Cheaters and the other was some other scary sounding name. They were scary bearded men with chains but not very Halloween-like. The year before that I saw a pumpkin in a window in London that reminded me it was Halloween and then the year before that on a little island sitting by a bonfire and drinking with our kayaking group. I always seem to be finishing a show in the fall so that’s when I get to take some time off work for travel. I’m actually trying to make a wordy transition here from Halloween to Thanksgiving. Which is being done very poorly I might add… so on that note…

I leave in a few weeks for a trip to Fiji and I’m busting with excitement! I can’t wait to see all the people again and give them some of the photographs I took the first time around. Below are Petero and Tony, and George and his family. Petero works at resort now so won’t be on the trip, but Tony will be guiding the trip and George will also be with us. George’s wife was pregnant in that photo so that kid will be almost three now! And to accompany me on my voyage…? A brand new video iPod! See, my last iPod decided to commit suicide this week by throwing itself down a flight of concrete stairs. It was a horrible has I had to hold it in my hands during its last dying breath. I pushed it’s little buttons like I was trying to restart its heart… So sad.
