October already???

Man, time flies when you are busy. Or having fun. Or something.

We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner last night, with a good mix of friends, and even a couple of other Canadians there. I like Canadian thanksgiving - it's cool enough out to enjoy a nice, heavy meal; and far enough away from Christmas that I should be able to convince Steve to do it all over again in a month and a half. And I promise to get the cleaning woman to come back again next time and do all of the dirty work - I'm so spoiled...

We went to a party on Sunday, and brought Sam... One of my friends (a blog-reader...) commented on his ghost story. It's possible that I forgot to ask his permission to put that here - but I think he was pleased. At least people have something interesting to read, he says.

He's trying out for the cross-country team at school, which is a huge thing - as he is completely my son and has expressed not interest in any sport, at all, ever. In fact, yesterday, when he came home and told us about the tryout (a 1.5 km run!), he suspiciously asked - is cross-country actually a sport? Uhhh.... What's the RIGHT answer to that question, if I want him to continue?
