Freaky Friday

Let's begin today by announcing the winner of the pumpkin carving contest:

First place, and winner of the 1 wish is...... ME!

Second place, and the grantor of the winner's wish -- Big Dave!
Thanks to all who voted. One voter went so far as to deduct points from Dave for using the Wii remote in such a unfitting manner. : ) I personally think he didn't want to bother scooping out the pumpkin guts, and took the easy way out. Foolish mortal.

I appreciate your confidence in my ability to slash up a pumpkin, and promise to carry on my talents and visions to next Halloween. Who knows what the next masterpiece might be?
By the way, over the next few days after carving, Calvin's nose and mouth shrunk substantially. He looked like Old Man Calvin with no dentures. Quite disturbing. By Day 5, I had no choice but to give him the proper burial in the backyard and let the bird/squirrels/tortoises/misc creatures finish him off. A gruesome ending, but one that I think he would enjoy, given his psych profile.

The second bit of news to share with you is that for our vacation, we are going to.....
HERSHEY, PA! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are headed for my mecca, my sacred city, my one true homeland. I shall bathe in a chocolate bath, get exfoliated in a chocolate scrub, dine on chocolate themed dinners, and immerse myself in a chocolate culture. It's my dream come true! And best of all, I get to share it with Big Dave. Now if only I could figure out a way to get the Hershey people to hire me as a taste tester, than life just might be complete. Too bad they don't have a bread factory near by, 'cause that would be my idea of heaven!

We'll also be visiting the Hershey Park, zoo, gardens, Amish country, and, of course, shopping -- for chocolate! We'll also be enjoying a cornfield maze, in celebration of Halloween. So much to do, so much to eat, and so little time!
I shall post a recap of our adventures upon our return, and maybe post a couple of photos. Don't be surprised if I look much fatter upon my return -- the chocolate made me do it!
