October is always a good month to get out and play. The temps are finally dropping and the weather is generally pretty good. October also bring fairs, football, and Halloween fun. Let's go!
After a year off, the State Fair of Texas was back. All I really want to do is eat me a Fletcher's corny dog. Although they are now available outside of the fair, the ones from the fair stand just hit different.
I also had the first golf trip in 18 months. A business trip to North Carolina offered a chance to catch up with some folks I'd only seen online for awhile.
I went to my first Formula 1 race at the Circuit of the Americas. I heard it set a record for largest sporting event in the US with over 400,000 attendees over the weekend. Billy Joel performed Saturday night and the race was exciting. But the Spam toss caught my attention! There is nothing as exciting as exciting as flying pressed meat. I put some links there for my weekend photos.
Football is back. Halloween weekend saw my Bears beat our long time, down the road rival, Texas Longhorns. They are moving conferences so this may be the last time we play for a while.
Halloween night, we had a Slightly Spooky Downtown Walk. My wife is on the board of the Animal Birth Control Clinic, a non-profit animal clinic that offers low cost spays and neuters as well as vaccinations and medications. There were lots of dogs and we visited some of the allegedly haunted spots of downtown Waco.
I can't believe we are at the tail end of 2020 already. I wonder what November brings.
