Happy Halloween!

A few photos from Halloweens past:





Back to our story ...

fearsome NemicolopterusWhen last we left our heroine, she had been dropped into the Paleozoic Era by the evil wiles of Professor Periwinkle! Barely had she stumbled from the chamber of Professor Periwinkle's time machine than she was snatched up by the fearsome Nemicolopterus, and hoisted into the skies to be carted home as an offering to its rapacious offspring! Fortunately for our heroine her struggles proved too great for the creature's grasp and she broke free - only to find herself plummeting through caustic gases toward the crater of an immense volcano that was actively spewing molten lava! We take up our story where we left off ...

"And that, Janet, is how I repaired the time machine, captured Professor Periwinkle, and was reunited with my one true love, who turned out to secretly be a Time Patrol Agent - the same Time Patrol that Periwinkle was seeking to uncreate with his dastardly manipulation of time."

"Golly, Jennifer! What an amazing story! Whoever would have thought it was possible to accomplish such amazing feats of intelligence and physical prowess! And all this from a middle-aged mother of two!"

"Well, thank you, Janet, but I'm nothing out of the ordinary. Why, everything I've done could have been done by any woman with the courage of her convictions, a pure love for her husband and children, and a pocket-sized nuclear device."

"But weren't you afraid of altering the time-stream and forever changing the future?"

"Oh, Janet, that was never a concern! The futuristic Danellian supermen put everything to rights! But enough about me; is this your new pet Tyrannosaurus? What an adorable little thing. Look! He fits right in the palm of my hand!"

The End?

Birthdays, sick kids, dramatic and undesirable side effects from new prescriptions, exercise, reading, filing, parent-teacher conferences, "Look! Here are fun, fun flash cards!", "Is this a room or a pigsty?", "Your friend said WHAT? No, don't repeat it. That is a bad word. It is a very, very bad word," "What do you mean, you've already ripped your Halloween costume?", "No", "NO", "So help me, if I have to say no again I am going to lock you in your room for the rest of your natural days and feed you through the gap under the door! Do you understand me?!"

Tomorrow / fresh start / blah, blah.
