I haven't actually started playing on the street for money, but it is never to early to start practicing...
It might look like a concert selfie, but really we were the stars of the show at the Shriner's Walk for Love... Go Team Harry!
I just went over and picked up a corner (actually it was circular so it didn't really have corners) and then everyone else joined in so the kids could run under it...
Mom took a picture of this for one of my friends, but Dad thought it was really funny...

Technically we don't have a new hamster - we're just fostering Bindy...
Really this is all about Melinda, but I nominated her as a hometown hero so it is a little bit about me...
We had just a few goats in the neighborhood this month helping to clear the growth along the trail through the woods...
That's right - this is what September looks like in Oregon! I'll bet you wish you were here...

Did they say "pirate" or "pilates" or was it "yoga"... I'm so confused! (But it was good enough to get a donut at Krispy Kreme even though they weren't giving out donuts for "Talk Like a Pirate Day" this year...)
Mom was out walking Buttercup at sunrise at the end of September... not a cloud in the sky... just like every other day... I can't wait for the rain to start!

I won't bore you with the details of the first month of Lucie's high school career. By next month she should be running the place...

Normally I would give you some interesting tidbit about the month, but the most interesting thing about September is the 21st night...

Ba de ya, say that you remember

Ba de ya, dancing in September

Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day

Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu

Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu

As you know a lot of people think that there are four classical elements: Earth, Wind and Fire being three of them... I'm not sure why those guys decided to dump Water... He probably thought "Ba de ya" was a stupid lyric so they moved on without him, but the important thing here is that there aren't actually four elements... there are five. The fifth element was "aether" or "void". Many people also thought that the Fifth Element probably should have been left in the void and despite becoming something of a cult classic it didn't really do anything for Bruce Willis' career and he had to wait for the Die Hard movies to really take off as an action hero...

Did you believe me? You should know by now that you can't believe everything (anything?) that you read on the internet. Bruce Willis had already made three Die Hard movies before The Fifth Element... and his real breakout role, as everyone knows, was Hudson Hawk (not to be confused with Paul Newman who did the voice for The Fabulous Hudson Hornet...)

And speaking of Paul Newman, he wasn't born in September - he was born on Januray 26th, 1925, but he did die in September... but not on the 21st night. It is hard to say who was the most famous person to die on September 21st... was it Virgil in 19 BC, the Roman poet, Raymond "Boz" Burrell in 2006, the British rock musician from King Crimson and Bad Company, or Bryan Smith in 2000, the man who ran over Stephen King...

And speaking of Stephen King, did you know he was born on September 21st and is actually the inspiration for Earth, Wind and Fire's song, September?

I'm lying, of course... but Stephen King was actually born on September 21st but try not to think about Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining, Firestarter, Cujo, Christine, Pet Sematary, Misery... when you are going to sleep tonight!
