I really love fall. The color of the leaves in our neighborhood trees are really striking. Another thing I really like about fall, or October in particular, is Halloween. After Christmas and Thanksgiving its got to be my favorite holiday. And for more reasons than monster movies on TV and free candy, which isn't so free for me anymore. No, there's a really good reason for my fondness for Halloween.

Greetings everyone and welcome to the 10th episode of the Blog Oklahoma Podcast. Wow 10 episodes. I realize in the scope of the pod-o-sphere, my little podcast about life in Oklahoma is barely a drop in the bucket. But I'm happy about it. To me 10 episodes is quite an achievement for someone sitting in the corner of a guest bedroom using a USB Headset microphone, recording with Audacity, and constantly being interrupted by firetrucks, barking dogs, and a cat named Baby.

I finally was able to work on part of that task I mentioned last episode, that has been eluding me for some time.  I was able to craw up our new ladder, and start the much needed scrapping of the paint.  I worked on the job for a few hours removing the old weathered pealing green paint. And just as I was finishing up the sky grew gray and dark, as if something ominous was happened.

I don't know about you, but my Saturday ended up being a nice relaxing day of TV, web browsing, and shopping.  I hadn't planed to do any of that.  I actually planed to do something else entirely.  Seems I'm on some sort of forced procrastination when it comes to one single outside chore I need to get done. ....

Blog Oklahoma Podcast 6: Midway

This is the part of the podcast where I give you an opening topic, but today I can't think of what to say.  I could go into the news and talk about current events like the government bail out of large companies, thoughts on the upcoming election, comment on the Oklahoma state fair, which is wrapping up as I record this. And all sorts of other news topics.  But I just couldn't pick one to talk about.  So what will my opening thoughts be?
