Halloween, and I have a bit of a cough and some fatigue.  Not wanting to get sick I haven't even attempted to find anything to do...although there is some post-Halloween social activity going on in the next few days or so.  Missed the Tour of Southern Ghosts this year, which makes me kinda sad, but going out and getting sick would make me sadder ( Read more... )
