Are you receiving me?

When I told my wife I was experimenting with  zombie run app she said, "I thought you hated zombies." 

And she's right. I really hate zombies. But I like storytelling and radio drama, and that part I enjoy very much.

We went to Cedar Point Halloweekends and boy did we get our timing right, the weather was ideal.

Neither the wife nor I are big haunted house people, so we just got our fortune told and rode some rides -- the trip was more for the boy, who brought a friend and they had their time while we had ours.

But if I had to do it again? I'd go into one of the haunted attractions. I guess I am still evolving. Next time!

My sensible eating practice went off the rails when I got Covid. Not that it was very good up to that point, but I was eating less garbage. Cedar Point trip, of course I ate more than necessary.

It's sugar season. Let's see if I can exert healthy control.

As we have entered creepy season,  I have decided to try something I swore I would never do. I have down loaded a "zombie run" app, which I will now use on a run. A daytime run.

Okay? Not bad. Maybe we will continue with this. I will remember to convert to miles next time, but I liked the DJs.

Speaking of DJs, I was listening to the Nine of Clubs Memories playlist, which was only appropriate.
