I am on my way back to Minneapolis after spending a week in North and South Dakota with a busy weekend planned.<br><br>
Tonight- a customer Halloween party<br>
tomorrow night - neighborhood bonfire and Halloween party<br>
Sunday- I drive to Madison Wisconsin to get my new dog - an Irish Setter named, Ronan.<br>
I should be back in time for the tricker treaters.<br><br>
What's on your calendar?

<p>The problem down here is some counties want to celebrate Halloween on Saturday instead of Sunday.  Which means I'll have be prepared for both nights, although I suspect the majority will be Sunday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In either case I'm usually able to close my doors about 9:00pm.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The firm is having their Halloween party as I type.   There is a $200 prize for best costume and act.</p>

<p>Rich,</p>
<p>Wish I could meet up with you for a cuppa coffee when you come down on Sunday! Unfortunately, we have plans for a large part of the day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Where is your new setter's breeder/owner located?</p>

<p>my weekend started this afternoon:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>the weather was PERFECT! PERFECT! PERFECT! which allowed me to get a buttload of yard work done [three hours worth]</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>tomorrow:</p>
<p>a.m.~~~>attempt a short slower-than-the-second-coming plod [fingers Xd that the PF cooperates] *or* do a kettlebells workout</p>
<p>p.m.~~~> watch some random college football, and then head into Madison for a home <span style="color:#ff0000;">Badger</span> hockey game vs Michigan Tech.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tomorrow night is Freakfest on State Street; so my guess is that the student section at the hockey game will be ROCKIN' and ROLLIN' with politically incorrect costumes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>eta: one of our band's more popular tunes at hockey games happens to be Rocky Horror's "Time Warp"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yes, we include the dance and hip thrusts~~~> and tomorrow night, the costumes will likely be just as 'warped' <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/headbang.gif" style="width:26px;height:28px;" title=""></p>

<p>Carve jack-o-lanterns on Saturday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Visit Grandma on Sunday morning because the DW works night shift. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Go home and start the run up to Halloween. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tag team trick-or-treating with the Grandparents on the DW's side. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Shut off the lights around 8 and head over to the block party for the fireworks.  Keep fingers crossed that DD doesn't freak out again and make me run home carrying her in my arms. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sleep. </p>

He's actually coming from Maryland - He's one year old and I've adopted him through saveoursetters.org. There are about 6 volunteers how are transporting him from Maryland - the closest they could get him was to Madison. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>No worries about the coffee - I'll be in and out so quickly to get back. It'll be a long day of traveling.</p>
