Took Reed and Jade to the Rocky Horror Picture Show last night. Disappointed as nobody in the audience knew the audience participation stuff so everybody just sat there watching the movie. When I went home I managed to find a couple scripts on the web so I emailed them over to Reed so he had an idea. Next year maybe we'll hit a larger venue so we can get the real experience. Reed didn't have a reffing gig yesterday but he does have training 11/3 and /6 so he's getting into it. Got a note from Cousin Ry. He's possibly driving down to Vero Beach around Thanksgiving and wants to stop by. That should be fun.

Been playing catch with Reed in preparation for the baseball tournament in Ft Myers. He's not only been working at his job at Smoke City but is starting to get involved with basketball officiating. He had a meeting tonight and I think he said he'll do his fist game on Friday.

My cousin Ry reminded me that I haven't put much on the blog lately. Let's see. In reverse order - Last night I went to the Charlie Daniels Band concert at the Florida Theater. A lot of virtuosity but way to loud. Painful to the point that I had to put my fingers in my ears for much of the night. Too bad. Played 18 holes with a couple brothers over at the Bent Creek Golf Course, a new course for me. Long corse but real pretty and a pleasure to play somewhere else than my cheap municipal course Brentwood. Registered for a 65 and over baseball tournament in Ft Myers Fl in a couple weeks and then got picked up by the Nova Scotia Monarchs to play. Got to get Reed to play catch with me a few times before I go. Also went to my first pro football game Sunday as the Jaguars played the Texans. Jaguars went down to another bad second half.

Reed----Jades aunt gave us free tickets to the preseason game here - Hawks vs Pelicans! Check out how good our seats were.

So went to visit Reed at his job today. Smoke City at this strip mall off Roosevelt Blvd. New store and it looks bright and shiny. Evidently he works some days 9-3 and others 3-10pm so I'm assuming he's working 6 days a week. That should keep him out of trouble.

Been awhile since my last post but that just shows you how boring it's been. But then I get a email from Reed.---- Just in case you ever wondered what I'd look like in a video game. AND it looks like he got a job------Why yes I did. That smoke shop on Roosevelt hired me so I'm gonna work there full time. Glad I finally found a way to make some decent money. Don't worry I won't pick up the habits that they promote there. It's just a job. There people there are really nice and interesting. ---- Just for the record, Jade's dad Alvin had gotten him a job pushing a vacuum cleaner a couple days a week and I thank him for that. We'll see what happens next.

Been playing a lot of golf and may even be getting better. Today was an interesting day as the temp and humidity were down at reasonable levels and I barely sweat through 18 holes. AND visiting us on the course was a bald eagle. Bug situation remains the same. Not seeing much and not getting bit. Did get my bed up on a 14" platform. Thank you Walmart.
