Thanks, Bruce. Luckily the Northwest Frwy location is near where I live, so I won't have to travel far.

I might add that the for is very soft and warm. I'm thinking that I might wear those for leg warmers if I go skiing this year... and maybe the helmet if I can drink some kind of chin strap. as long as it embarrasses my kids, I'm into it.

I wish every day was Halloween. If we could all wear nutty stuff whenever we felt the urge that would be totally cool. I'd have a vast collection of vests. and maybe hats.

christ... I'm so slappy from no sleep that I can't even sleep and I'm rambling on and on like a crackhead.

gnite pricks!

this makes me happy today!

You're completely correct on all counts (and yes, there are pics). I do have to tell you that recovering from dyeing your hair is a lot faster than recovering from cutting it all off.

everyone had a good time, no one got arrested, no spills, no broken furniture, no upper deckers. We'll probably do this again next year. I think I'll be Viking.
