Not much to say.  Just doing my best.  Ups and downs.  Lots of loneliness even with people around, but some new ideas flowing.  No idea what the future will bring but also nothing concrete to look forward to.  Probably not the best way to enter the holliday season, which I've always found depressing to begin with.  I'll have to work that out before Halloween is over. 

I have in the past tried to do some Halloween costume contests, but it slipped my mind this year, and they rarely generate that many entries even when I give them good lead time, so I'll see if I can come up with something different closer to the 31st.
