Morning Minutia

Dottles from the brainpan this Friday moanin':
1. Running this morning I saw not one, not two, but three different guys walking small, white dogs including one who had the physique and clothing of a jock. Mental note: walking a small, white dog does not enhance masculinity.

2. All generalizations are bad. (Think about it.)

3. Today is Halloween and we have yet to buy our giveaway candy.

4. I have a bowl filled with ketchup, mustard, and mayo packets that I offer the kids that come to the door. I get a lot of good reactions.

5. Wednesday's edition of Great Performances on PBS showcased the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which is the new home of the LA Philharmonic. What an amazing place that looks to be. The inaugural performance was one of my favorites, Stravinsky's Le Sacre Du Printemps. Remember the dinosaurs in Fantasia?

6. I also heard Audra McDonald sing. I hadn't heard her before but what a beautiful voice she has.

7. My employer makes free flu shots available for the employees. I just had mine. They gave me a lollipop as a reward.

8. My 17 year-old son tells me he is going trick-or-treating tonight with some of his friends. Does that seem preposterous to you, too?

9. I don't get to go to Jamaica next February with St. John's Jamaica Medical Mission. They tell me I'm penciled in for a trip planned for next June.

10. Michigan is playing at Michigan State tomorrow. Both teams are doing pretty well this year. I wish I had been in Michigan this past week to be part of the hoop-la.
