Halloween Sunday

Today was a pretty nice day. Once again didn't sleep well last night...I have no clue why, all signs pointed to a great night of sleep, but I was restless and I couldn't shut off my brain computer. But anyway, luckily I didn't have to do much all day except for go for a nice easy bike ride with my sister, buy and carve pumpkins (more on this later), and drink yummy foreign beers and eat fantastic and cheap mussels at a place called Smokeless Joes. We ate 5 pounds of muscles. We are nononsense muscle eaters...the mussels arrive, and my guess is that a pound of mussels disappeared in about 2 minutes. The whole 5 in 10. And the beer...wow, I had this German Festbock...soooo good, nice and dark and very tasty, with a slight buckwheat honey flavour. Unfortunately the second beer I had was an English one called Bombardier. I thought this was very appropriate, as I'm an aerospace engineer, and what with Bombardier being a major aircraft company. Too bad it didn't have much taste.

Anyway, the pumpkin carving was fun. As per family tradition, we had 3 pumpkins, one per sibling, only one of them was actually a butternut squash so it was a bit unconventional, and unusually green and small. One of our pumpkins was a wolf howling in front of a big moon, and the butternut squash was a standard face (due to its small size limiting artistic creativity). And mine had the greek letter Pi in it!!! I thought it was a pretty funny pun, however most people don't seem so amused. I am really into puns. For lots of really great puns, go here:
