And there are several reasons why:
Reason #10. It's September 24th, which means it's only 5 weeks until Halloween! Time for my youngest to get outfitted for the event. Let me present Jango Fett, the father of Boba Fett. Bounty hunting: it's the growth family business of the future. Henchmen lackies of the world...UNITE!
Reason #12. My daughter is a homeless person this weekend, living in a cardboard box behind the parish hall (since last night) with other members of the parish youth group. Today they are helping out the homeless along with the good folks at Catholic Charities of East Tennessee. I built her the best box I could find, because I want the best even for my homeless daughter. We'll pick her up tomorrow after the 8 o'clock Mass.
Reason #15. My son is studying for a massive Chemistry test that is due to hit on Tuesday. All weekend long we've been building the storm shelter of knowledge by studying and quizzing, and my horror days of high school chemistry class are being revisited. Truthfully, I've learned more about chemistry this weekend then I ever did in high school (yep, I never studied then). Orbital notation...are you kidding me?

Reason # 73. My dad, who lives about 2 hours from me, stopped through town for a visit while attending his 55th year high school reunion(?!). We visited, ate barbecue, and paid our respects to my grandparents at the cemetery. Sort of a reconnaissance mission for the All Souls Day vigil I've got planned.
Life is short, Fall is here, and it's a beautiful day. Blogging can wait. If I tried to write anything today, it would probably be like this, but not sound nearly as good.
