Last Sunday dinner was rather spooky as you can see. We all wrote characters and put them in a hat and whoever you picked you had to dress up as. So Scott was Frankenstein(he won the $40 jackpot), Elena was a fairy, Laura was Richard Simmons, Brian a Pirate, me as a scarecrow(may I tell you that I MADE my own costume on my sewing machine), Michael was an Elf and Angelina decided at the last minute she just wanted to be herself. :-) It was really fun and it came down to me and Scotty but everyone chose Scott. DAMN!!!

So everything is going fine here. Tomorrow is Elena's birthday so we're going for a sushi dinner. Then the next day is big voting day. We've already voted but my fellow Floridians if you haven't already voted...could you please vote NO on 2. It's the amendment that allows domestic partnerships to become legal in that we could share benefits and make decisions for each other the same way that you can make them with your husbands. Thank you for your time and Elena approves this message too.

I'm up to 2 days a week now at the post office, Monday and Saturday. The route that I deliver on Mondays is so beautiful. You would never imagine that these homes are in Tavares. It's actually called Deer Island but it's Tavares. Anyone ever been? It really is a real island and the homes are just magnificent.

Oh I have great news, Genie ran away again and this time he hasn't come back yet. Really we're not "thrilled" but it does make for peaceful sleep times. Usually every morning around 4:30 he and Morpheus would start howling in each other's face and Elena or I would have to get up and break them up. Not the last 2 nights. He's gone missing and we're just not ready to throw out the search party just yet.

Hope all is well with everyone. Katie I keep complaining to Elena that I want to come to Elf on a Shelf night but I have to work the next morning, etc. But you might just have 2 more reservations, if you have the room of course...
