• Wow, after a week of mostly great weather in Newport, I come home to a pre-Halloween snowstorm in New Jersey. #

• As cliché-ish as it sounds, stacking firewood out in the crisp morning air really makes me glad Fall is finally here. My fav time of year! #
• RT @leolaporte: RT @jcherup: Facebook bought drop.io and is discontinuing the service! Damnit. — WTF? yet another reason Facebook sucks! #
• @embly917 Thanks! That’s sweet. She’ll appreciate that. in reply to embly917 #
• Happy Halloween! Hope your day has more treats than tricks! The outcome of mine is still to be determined. #
• Some people go to a sports bar to watch the World Series. I’m at a hospital. Drinks are worse but the company is way better. #

I just updated my mother’s towel catalog for the first time in a while. Halloween, Fall, Thanksgiving and Christmas are all coming up and there are towels for each! Of course, the everyday ones make great gifts too! Take a look look at what’s available here.

• Mums & pumpkins & corn stalks, oh my! It’s Fall decorating day. #
• RT @wolfblitzercnn: “I think there’s more to the Northwest pilots story than simply using laptops in the cockpit.” – there has to be more #
• Just saw a “Santa for Hire” sign along the roadside. The bad economy is taking a toll on everyone, I guess. #
• RT @kevinrose: “Like bacon?, move to SF http://yfrog.com/j5g8tj" – Yum! Hope Dunkin Donuts is listening! Bacon makes everything better. #
• @embly917 If not for the whole diabetes thing, I’d definitely have stopped for candy. Maybe Stan’s “hyper pug” costume was scaring them. in reply to embly917 #

In the spirit of Halloween, carve a virtual pumpkin. Not useful, but fun for a few minutes.

When I carve a pumpkin my tools are generally a few knives, spoons, etc. But now there’s a special pumpkin carving attachment to clean out your pumpkin. It it sort of like a egg beater. It’s called the Pumkpin Gutter. It seems like overkill to me, but hey, each to their own.
