I had about 50 or 60 trick-or-treaters tonight.

Mitch liked it. He just stood at the door and smelled everyone's bag as I dropped candy into them.

Everyone really liked him except for one mom that grabbed her daughter and pulled her back about 10 feet. When she saw that Mitch just liked greeting everyone and getting his head scratched by the kids she let her daughter come to the door. He never once tried to dart out or even step on the porch. He is such a good boy.
I haven't really felt like posting much the last few months. Part of the reason is the template for my blog "broke" and I didn't feel like taking the time to fix it. The biggest thing that was wrong was the archives disappeared. To fix it I had to select a new template and lose all of my previous customizations. Before I restore those customizations I will live with this template for a bit and see what I think about it. Any comments on it are welcome.

I am sitting on the couch waiting for trick-or-treaters. At 8 PM I am going to turn off the porch and foyer lights and go upstairs and do a few chores.

I have my summer-weight bedspread in the dryer right now.

I am going to try and post more regularly. At first it might just be a sentence or two about something I did until I can get back in the groove.

This is a 3-D mouse called the SpaceNavigator and I think I will probably end up buying it soon.

You can use it in Google Earth, Live Search Maps my favorite on-line mapping site, ArcMap, PhotoShop, CAD programs, etc. Rather than try and explain why it is so cool, just take a look at these videos of someone navigating the applications with the 3-D mouse.
