Halloween!!

Hello!

Joanna and I had loads of fun eating TONS of peanutbuttery-chocolatey delicious candy and watching the first Harry Potter movie as our festivities for Halloween!

We had one trick-or-treater (Lauren). 

We also went to the ward's Halloween Party, which was . . . OK. 

Actually, the highlite of the night was when I found out that I was NOT ALONE in the universe! There are other alien lifeforms that worship Star Trek!! (That is the Elder's Quorum Pres. and his wife! LOL!) 


I took off all my human disguise that I normally wear, and it was nice to be my real self again - a Vulcan science officer on a starship. This year I even had a phaser. . . . needless to say, the Klingons left us alone.


My lovely wife, Joanna, wanted to hide her shame of having such a husband, so she went as an FBI agent - in hat, trenchcoat, and huge sunglasses. . . . . but still people recognized her! I'm sure people thought she was working on an X-File when they saw us together! . . .


In other news, Jimmy (Joanna's little Chevy Metro with 168K miles) got new tires, lube, fluids, and exhaust system, and now runs like a dream! We're hoping it lasts until we can afford a newer car. . . and when we have the need for extra space. 

In more other news, Joanna got a new hair style.   :)

In yet other news, in the recent windy storms, the back fence of our apartment complex blew over, and there are 3 trees leaning heavily on a power line. I do not think the power line will last much longer, and it presents a hazard to parking in the rear. . . .

In final news, Sing-a-ma-jigs are awesome.

Live long and prosper.

- Ben

Hey, Spock, you are looking a little pudgy there, no wonder your lovely wife wanted to go incognito!

Love Joanna's serious face. She's hardcore. ;)
