Pumpkin Carving @ Casa del Webster

I was not able to celebrate Halloween with Richard as I was on the road that week. Trust me when I say that Halloween in Washington DC is boring!

Before I left, Rich and I worked on two pumpkins.

Scary Friends

Pirate Guy

After I left, Rich did one more. It may be hard to get (due to flash issues) but it's a haunted house (with bats flying around).

Haunted House

Richard & Packers And Their Blankets

Well, I've taken up crocheting as a hobby these days. I know that sounds really boring but it's keeping my hands really busy. I'm learning some interesting techniques and making some interesting items (mostly of the square/rectanglish variety).

I decided to make a TV blanket for Rich as one of my first projects. A TV blanket is a long and thin blanket that doesn't get all bulky on the sides. Kind of like a twin blanket.

When I got to the end of the blanket (it was FINALLY long enough for "tall dark-haired & handsome", I end up with a little yarn left over. Just enough to make a little blankie for Packers as well.

She actually keeps it on when we sit down at night to watch TV. It's extra funny when she gets up and runs off. The blanket keeps on her back thanks to her tail. We have to go searching for it every once in a while.

Yes. I'm moving into other shapes but it's a slow process. I've given away one baby blanket already.

On a completely separate note... Fa la la la la.... Richmond Chorus is doing the Christmas Concert thing again this year. We have two concerts for you to choose from.

• Monday December 11 @ 8pm at All Saints in Ladner - 4755 Arthur Drive (10$ tix)
• Tuesday December 12 @ 7.30pm at Richmond Alliance Church - 11371 No. 3 Rd (18$ tix for adults)

For more info, please contact me or check the website at http://www.roca.ca

Also, if you're interested in a truly UNIQUE Christmas music CD, the chorus has just released its first CD. Let me know if you're interested in purchasing one. They should be available for purchase at the concerts as well.

User Conference Presentations - The San Francisco Treat

I'm now in the second week of my two week roadshow work. Luckily it's all in one place. I get to actually UNPACK!!!! I'm presenting 8 times tomorrow (Sunday). My voice is STILL gone. I hope I don't have another coughing attack. I even have to answer questions during lunch. Monday to Wednesday, I sit in the "Developer Zone" filled with white boards and sofas and answer even MORE questions. Let's see how it all goes.

If you are reading this on Sunday and would like to go to the concert that I had to miss, it's at 3pm at Riverview. It will be a really good classical orchestra and choral concert. I'm really sorry to be missing it.
