All the signs are in place.
Boston won the baseball World Series.
Last night when I was changing the strings on my favorite mandolin, it's wooden top cracked with a bang.
Early this morning the goose-neck table lamp in my computer room, decided to sag and break.
Just now two Jehovah's Witnesses came to the door and I didn't say "No thanks." and shut the door as soon as I saw one of them had a copy of the Watchtower.
Oh, ye nations, repent!!! Judgement day is at hand!!!
Well, there's always next year for baseball, although if I can find one I'll wear a 'Breakup the Red Sox!' button.
It's really sad about my mandolin. I shouldn't play it unless and until I get it fixed. It would probably cost more than it's worth to fix it, and way more than I paid for it originally. But, I've had it for nearly thirty years, it's the one I learned to play on, it sounded great, and there'll never be a new one like it again. Okay, I confess, I ordered a slightly different new one this morning. But don't be too surprised if I get my old one fixed someday soon. If I don't, It's pretty enough to go on the wall somewhere in the house. I'm not giving it up!
Instant update - - - What do fundamentalist's have against trick-or-treating?? I just had someone from another church stick a card in the door announcing a church Harvest Festival on Halloween evening. It's Halloween folks! Hallloween parties are fine, but call it Halloween. God won't curse you for it! - Slightly OT. I understand the Mormon kids are being asked to go trick-or-treating tonight around here because Halloween is Sunday. Sheesh!
My lamp is already on the mend. It was a plastic casing that broke from stress rather than heat and I'm a great believer in epoxy. I ought to tell that to the door-to-door church folks!
Thanks to Rahael's post yesterday, I decided to be nice to the the Jehovah's Witnesses. I'll even read the pamphlet they left. It's not going to threaten my beliefs to see what others are thinking.
I didn't have to be nice to the lady who stuck the card in the door. She politely left to put one in the doors on the rest of the block before I could get up. (My computer room overlooks the entry way, so if like today, I have the blinds open I can see who is at the front door.)
Hope everyone's day will be better than my past few days have been! But despite the crummy things I mentioned and others this week I haven't, I feel pretty good. Don't ask why, cause I don't know.

My daughter explained about the fundamentalists and Halloween. Very simply, people who enjoy halloween worship the devil. From the mouths of 9 year old.
It's not going to threaten my beliefs to see what others are thinking.
But sometimes it can be fun (Dem-ann here now) to try to dispel their beliefs. In college, my roommate pretty much had two JW's shaking in their apparently newly discovered, not very strongly held beliefs after just a few questions. /Dem-ann
Duct tape is fun too.
Take care.
