“If you wish to lower yourself in a person’s favor, one good way is to tell his story over again, the way YOU heard it.” — Mark Twain

First of all, Happy Halloween! Great, now that that’s out of the way, my thanks to the ever-astute Ellen, for pointing out my careless and incorrect spelling of “tourettes” yesterday. Although, I am fairly sure, such sudden disregard for the norms and etiquette of language are all part of the syndrome, which I am certain I have (even if only superficially… or artificially).

But that’s beside the point. Tonight I’m going up to my sister’s place to see my nephews in their costumes and take pictures that I will later post in my pictures section to brag to you about the beauty my family breeds. Isn’t that why we share pictures anyway? Because we’re proud? Because we have something we think is worth flaunting? Of course, I leave the verdict of flaunt-worth to you, my discerning readers.
