Sunday, Oct. 30

October, the best weather ....  nice days, cold nights. Leaves changing on the trees, slight smell of wood burning fireplaces at times and up here, the smell of fermenting grapes.  Nice.

Still looking for an apartment.  Still looking for more part time work. I have a Monday-Tuesday gig in Calistoga at a little 13 room hotel and spa, just doing a little continental breakfast, checking guests out, making reservations, checking guests in in the afternoon.  Easy. Pay is crappy but the people who run it are funnier than hell.  They've been in the hospitality industry most of their lives and therefore have that jaded sense of human kind that comes with dealing with the public all the time.  You must be nice to them but sometimes it's a struggle...... and sometimes they are very nice back!  So far we have had many laughs at the guests' expense, unbeknownst to those guests.

My third "daughter" Stacey is in labor right now with her second child, or perhaps the kid has already been born. They didn't want to know if it was a boy or a girl, so this is rather exciting. Plus it is just such a miracle that babies get conceived, carried and born. I can't wait to see this one.  Her first one, Sam, is, as many of you might know, the best kid to come into my life since Jenn and Gabe.  Reaffirms faith in the process of life.

At the inn right now, waiting to check in guests and pour them wine and make them happy.  Ah, customer service, the hallmark of the hospitality industry.

Movie reviews (DVD) coming up shortly.

Enjoy Halloween, if you like that sort of thing.  Personally, I don't.  But many do.


Think Cooper would like this outfit?
