Carving without a kid


Joanne is three days late now, a little more if you go by her calculations, and we await our new housemate patiently.

Tonight she put a few acupuncture needles into herself in particular places, meditated with her iPod while I watched the Leafs lose (bad), the Yankees lose (good) and I decided to carve a Halloween pumpkin despite having no kids around to participate and/or appreciate.

It wasn't always going to be a mouse, but when I cut off the bottom to make it sit flat, the two ears were just obvious and Jack the Mouse Jack-O'-Lantern was born.

Just wait until next year when I have a little one to carve with . . . or be oblivious as a one-year-old?

Happy Halloween everyone.
