Zip this!

I came across this interesting site that tells you demographic info about an area based on zip code. I'm not sure where to save it if I ever want to see it again, so I am putting it here. :-)

So, Happy Halloween! and Happy Friday.

I am disappointed with today being the last day of open enrollment for the newly available new, less costly, dental plans for state retirees and not feeling comfortable enough with the situation to take advantage of it. I investigated it the best I could with the limited time frame and access to (read that no one answered the phone) the state pension people. I wanted to do it...no deductible, no maximum paid, comparable costs. It's the network of providers that's the kicker, of course, and the one visit I made to check out my potential dentist(s) was not uplifting. Also, the fact that there was no answer to the question of what happens at the end of the year...is there another chance to switch plans or no?

On a happier note, Tom got the all-clear from the neck doctor to start up regular life activities again. So we celebrated with him driving (yay!) to Prospectors for some dancing. Yee haw!
That was our second Prospectors visit of the week. We celebrated Melissa's birthday there on Wednesday.


Tomorrow is November. Oy. Time is going really really fast now....

Historical evidence of blogs gone by....

I attended the NJEA Communication Tools Workshop today.

I commented on it on this old old blogsite of mine with roots from yesteryear....

Catching up

It has come to my attention that I haven't illustrated for documentation purposes any of our activities and events since May. (?!)  That's a lot of months' worth. You could always check out the online collections at shutterfly:
