Fran was asked by Daughter #1 last night if she'd ever heard of Cat Stevens ....

ahem .... I'll leave it at "Of course!"

Here he is with the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Fran has excellent seats to this Saturdays UOGB show in Toronto! [sigh, life is good]

How can he turn his head that way!

Ah, Love

How did he do this !

As Halloween approaches, you may be thinking of carving your own Jack O'Lantern out of a pumpkin. American Ray Villafane takes pumpkin carving to another level. Drawing on his background in art and his work in designing models for DC and Marvel comics, Ray sculpts intricate horrific faces out of pumpkins. His carvings look like gothic gargoyles in keeping with the theme of the popular holiday. "The most intricate pumpkin model that I have designed is the Zipperhead model, which took the best part of a day. Otherwise, the models take a couple of hours," he says.

George (Basset hound) and Carol (French bulldog) are ready for a devilishly comical night of trick-or-treating.....

Murder indeed!

Spider phobic? You're not alone...
