Today at work we are celebrating Halloween. I’m a Hagrid inspired wizard from Hufflepuff. Let’s have a magical day and be safe ghouls and goblins of all ages.

I took this photo with my Google Pixel 7a. I then cropped it to get a better picture.
May this moon shot inspire us to have a good Monday.

Quote Of The Day
I certainly wear my heart on my sleeve, and I think that comes out in the characters that I play. There’s a yearning, or something, that comes out of me that people relate to.
Matthew Perry
Three Wishes Writing Prompt
This is a good question and I would hope that what I would ask for wouldn’t impact anyone negatively. My first wish is enough money for me and my family to live where life would be comfortable. I don’t need to be filthy rich. The second wish would be to help make life easier for those who are in need. The final wish would be for organizations I care about to have what they need to carry out their missions. As long as I can take care of myself and mine then I will hope to be sure others are taken care of.
More Shots
Yesterday I got my 2023 COVID vaccine and a Pneumonia vaccine. I am fine after having both other than a sore arm. If you haven’t gotten your vaccines please do so if you can. In many cases, it’s free or low-cost. The more shots, the better you will be.
