Thought of the day

Happy October!

Are you a fan of spooky season? It’s crisp outside, it’s Friday, and there’s football on, so I’ve got zero complaints.

Besides, nobody came here to read me whining on a Friday.
You’re here for the real stars of the show: Ms. Frizzle and Lucy.

Naturally, both girls are officially sporting their Halloween-themed collars.
Fashion first.

The basset also demanded that I introduce you to her new best friend: Bear.

Bear is a stuffed animal currently in medical rehab at Casa de Shife. He works with Mrs. Shife at her pediatric clinic, where he recently survived a few overly aggressive toddlers who took liberties with his ears. Lucy doesn't care that he's missing some stuffing and smells like hand sanitizer—she thinks he’s an absolute ten.

Meanwhile, Ms. Frizzle has unexpectedly become my new football buddy. Now I just need to figure out if she actually understands zone coverage or if she’s just developing a tragic fondness for her version of a Bear. (The photo is a little grainy, but that's Chicago and Philly on the screen—and Frizzle was locked in.)

I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.
