The month of October ends with Halloween and an extra hour of sleep tonight as we move out clocks back. Children of neighborhood were out in full force tonight “trick or treating”.
My wife and I were out today raking the leaves into garden and compost piles when technology and nature played a trick on us. I went to the front to rake leaves and when I returned to the backyard my wife was on the grounds sorting through the leaves. She told me that she had been listening to her MPG player when it fell out of her coat pocket and was in the leaves. We racked and looked through the leaves and were about to give up when, now done on my knees, I found it. My guess is that nature, gravity and leaves, were giving her a message that MPG players and nature do not mix.
Tonight my grandchildren are probably trick or treating, however you do that in a rural area. Tomorrow we will head north to their house so I can go to the Green Bay Packer’s game with my daughter-in-law while my wife watches the grandchildren. My son is a police officer in Green Bay and will be at the football game ‘working’.
My son and his wife have two season tickets to the Packer games. Since my son works the game my daughter-in-law offers family members a chance to go to one of the games. I picked this game before Bret Favre, the former Green Packer, everyone loves and hates, decided to play for Minnesota, the opponent tomorrow.
My son withdrew my option to purchase the ticket when, due to Farve’s return to Lambeau field he looked he could sell the ticket for lots of money. That trick, however, was reversed. My daughter-in-law really wanted to go the game so she set the price so high that he did not sell the tickets. So thanks to Bret Favre’s decision to play for Minnesota and my daughter-in-law I will enjoy a treat of the game.
All week in the media there has been talk if the fans will cheer or boo Bret Favre when he takes a field in a Minnesota uniform. I do not know or care. The question for me is, will it be a trick or treat?
