October 30: Wife's Birthday, Wednesday Worries

Today is my wife's birthday.  After work, we are meeting at a restaurant for dinner.  It's not going to be anything expensive or elaborate, but, considering how often we go out for dinner, it will be special.  Thus, I need to publicly wish my beloved a "Happy Birthday."

Tomorrow is Worry Wednesday according to my new blog schedule.  That means it is the one day of the week where I get to voice my complaints and concerns unabashedly.  I usually have a laundry list of gripes, aches, pains, and worries.  I just have to narrow it down to one specific issue.  I think I already have an idea of what I'm going to discuss.  It has to do with Halloween and the weather and my daughter's makeup.  That's what we call in the blog biz a "tease."  You'll have to tune in tomorrow morning for the full scoop.

Just got back from teaching my film class a couple hours ago.  It was freezing cold and windy.  Actually, it was more than windy.  It was more than brisk or blustery.  It was gusty verging on stormy.  It is the remnants of Hurricane Sandy, which destroyed the East Coast last night.  I think Sandy's little tail is whipping around and catching the Upper Peninsula of Michigan a little bit.  I'm hoping the wind dies down by tomorrow evening, or there's going to be a lot of candy corn and Snickers bars blowing around.

Saint Marty isn't complaining, though.  He's just voicing a concern.  He'll save the complaining for tomorrow.

Hopefully not tomorrow night...

October 30: Wife's Birthday, Betty, New Cartoon

Today is my wife's birthday.  Because of our finances at the moment, she and I mutually decided to refrain from buying presents for each other this year.  The trip to the Kalahari in the Wisconsin Dells a couple of weeks ago was our birthday and anniversary presents to each other.  We did, however, go out to lunch at Subway after church to celebrate her day.

I haven't really done a whole lot else this afternoon.  My daughter is over at a friend's house at the moment.  My wife and son are taking a nap.  And I'm drawing cartoons and blogging.  After I'm done on the computer, I intend to grade some quizzes.  I know, I know.  You wish you could switch lives with me.  Sorry, there will be no Freaky Friday moments with Saint Marty.

I do have a new cartoon for you.  It's the final Halloween Confessions of Saint Marty and touches upon my boyhood crush on Betty from the Archie comics.  I always liked Betty better, even though Veronica was the naughty one.  Don't ask me why.  Perhaps it's the whole purity thing.  Plus, Betty looked much hotter in a bathing suit.

Saint Marty has some grading to do now.  He's really living on the wild side.
