Pumpkin Patch

Mommy has a midterm coming up on Tuesday, the 26th. Daddy was kind enough to take Alex out to the Mamaroneck Avenue Spooktacular. There were lots of kids in costumes already doing their Trick-or-Treating. Alex got to see Captain America in person and everything! (Captain America was about 4 years old, but Alex was star struck nonetheless.)

They took a trip around the pumpkin patch at the Episcopal Church, where Alex ran through the rows of pumpkins. Of course, there was the obligatory trip to Dunkin Donuts (he no longer calls it 'The Munchkin House).

And Mommy stayed home to study Statistics AND Goldfish. It seems that no goldfish should live in a tank. They are dirty dish who pollute their own water quickly. They're supposed to live for at least 15-20 years and grow to at least a foot. For this, they need some 20 gallons per fish in which to live.

Sorry Malter and Nudder, you're not getting the recommended 55 gallon tank for the two of you. But if we can make sure you live at least a few years more, we'll move you to a 10 gallon. We happen to have two on hand.

In the meantime, Statistics and Pumpkins are our focus for today.
