   WHEN Josh and Jonnie were much younger and we all lived in our home in Bricktown….I was gonna be the hero dad!
   I WENT WITH them to a big pumkin patch and we bought the biggest, roundest pumkin we could find.
   I WAS GONNA be the expert pumkin-carver hero dad. They were never gonna forget this day. They were never gonna forget this pumkin!
   SO I TOOK THEM both in the garage. Laid down some newspaper. Got a big sharp knife.
   THEY WATCHED ME with eyes full of wonder. “Our hero” they must have been thinking as I cut open the pumkins top and GUTTED the insides onto the newspaper.
   IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR with the smell of the insides of a pumkin then you understand that I might as well have been gutting a live animal. The smell is THAT BAD!
   AT THIS POINT the little one, Jonny threw up all over the place because the small of the pumkin was over whelming.
   SO NOW JOSHUA is throwing up because Jonathan is throwing up. (good thing I had newspapers on the floor)
   IT DIDN’T MATTER…..there is throw-up and pumkin guts everywhere.
   NOW THEIR MOTHER comes out yelling and screaming at what I had done. “I told you this wouldn’t work.” ..”What the hell are you trying to do to them!” and so on and so forth and she takes them away from me.
   HERE IS THE HERO DAD……alone in the garage….with pumkin guts, throw up and hoping that he has created another memory…..that they will never forget.

   George-that is a very funny story. Where is Whitman street? Only kidding. Once when I was about 5. My mother made this really stupid costume. It was some sorta queen dressy thing. I hated it. I fought with her.
   We started tricker treatin and it was a pretty hot day.
   I was crying because I hated the costume. I ran away and started taking it off. Even when I got down to my underwear. I took them off too. My mother was running after me. I ran up a the steps of a porch and there was an old woman there sitting on a chair handing out candy.
   “Trick or treat!”
   I said totally naked.

   Pumpkins don’t stink! They say being a human being is like being a pumpkin. Faith lifts you up, takes you in and washes all the dirt off you. Opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff – including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed etc. Then it carves you a new smiling face and puts a light inside you to shine for all the world to see. So to all the PUMPKINS in this patch, Happy Fall! Maybe we should all go and stand in a big field of pumpkins!

   What a great analogy. I never thought of myself as a pumkin. I’m all for standing in a field of pumkins….only if I can stand next to Linus and Charlie Brown!

   Trick or treating on the way to school on the way home from school and till at least 10pm on halloween night. And getting those great big candy bars. Now were lucky to get two hours and a tiny candy bar. And those costumes with the mask and the string around it with the plastic outfits that put over your clothes. Oh boy those were the days. Trick or treat!

   Walk in the sunshine
   Watch for the bright sign
   Be all the things you’re able to be
   You got to listen to the heavens
   You got to try and understand
   The greatness of their movement is just the small as it is grand

   Try not to hurry
   It’s just not your worry
   Leave it to those all caught up in time
   You got to deep six your wrist watch
   You got to try and understand
   The time it seems to capture is just a movement of its hands

   How did I miss this? What a beautiful sunshine flower. And what an awesome photo of NYC at 6:00am on the photos site. You appear to have it all great gardens to enjoy and at the hub of everything that is hip, happening and high energy! Very inspirational. Thank you.
