[Old Sarge]

Greetings, Canteeners, Troops,
and All the Ships at Sea!

And Tuesday is now Monday, in Sarge's neck o' the woods; so here we are, back in the cubes for another fun and exciting week. But with the passing of Labor Day, there is now just one big day coming up, and that's... HALLOWEEN!!!

Before the mission two years ago that took Sarge from work all those months, the workplace staged their annual day-long Halloween-workplace gig: employees do the whole day in costume, Trick-or-treat in the cubes, the whole deal. And Sarge not only got into costume, he got into Character. One friend here and Sarge, dressed up from the Lord of the Rings - she as Arwen, and Sarge as the Black Rider. Won best duet that year...

At any rate, several co-workers are already asking Sarge is he'll trot out the Nazgul again, and asking for tips and pointers on garbed costumes. Ah, popularity...

But, as good as Sarge gets, NO ONE does Halloween better than his Demented Sis, who does her house every year better than Universal Studios...

Well, the Home Detachment got cleaned up from the camping trip in record time, and the gear is all put away for the next trip - which should be soon, with the weather turning cooler. Sarge loves cooler weather, especially autumn.

On to a few Personals:

TONKIN/DIVA: Thanks once again, you two, for the Tuesday Thread, an always fascinating dip into history!

STAR/MS. B/BENTFEATHER/KATHY: Sorry about my rude departure last night, but when your head hits the monitor, it's time to go...

DARKWING/BEACH/MOJO: And any others of our coastal FReepers out there: Here's to hoping that Frances, and her boyfriend Ivan who's spinning up in the Atlantic, are causing you good folks no more trouble than you can handle!

Sarge will be in the area all day, so Let's Have Fun!

I'm glad to hear that your sister is safe and sound and that Sarge and his home detachment had a good time camping.

I had fun last Halloween, my first in the new neighborhood. When little kids, 3-6 years old, would come to the door, I would hold out cans of broccoli, peas, carrots, etc. and ask which one they wanted.

Every single kid politely chose one of the cans of veggies. No one complained!! Then, much to their relief, I would bring the candy out!
