GIDDY WITH PUMPKINTICIPATION

Yes, it's THAT time of year again.

I've already had pumpkin lattes, pumpkin-shaped cookies, and pumpkin-infused cookies. Actually, i mailed a batch of oatmeal pumpkin cookies to a friend in Afghanistan. I almost can't wait 'til we get around to pumpkin pie and pumpkin cake. But that's not why I'm so excited.

BUSYMONTH

Wow. This baby thing is... wow.

Thanks though for all your well wishes and baby loot. Thank you especially to all of you with the expert advice and helping us watch her. We really do appreciate every little thing you do and you've helped to make this a great experience for us.

Thank you.

P.S. It seems her spirit-animal has been speaking up for her and imbuing her with mystic energies. Her superheroine name is THE DUCKLING -and you cannot resist her powers of adorableness.

PUMPKINMONTH

The next 31 days are dedicated almost exclusively to Cucurbita etcetera. Pumpkin pies, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin cookies, toasted pumpkin seeds, cold pumpkin soup -everything edible. Kudos also to pumpkin candles, pumpkin incense, pumpkin potpourri, and everything smell-o-ble. Now is also the time for screening your PUMPKINHEADs (1988) and queueing up your NIGHTMAREs BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993). Go ye now and rejoice.

#27 On The List of Things About Which i Shall Not Apologize

i like the Kings of Leon. i think that's some interesting post-millennial Southern Rock they got going there. Europe seems to have gotten really into them, but over here all i get are rolling eyes from my peers (and even my wife) when i mention the name or turn up a song. I'm here to tell you though... i shall not go quietly into that goodnight. i will not let peer pressures or the derision of strangers change my mind or my feelings. i like the Kings of Leon.

I'm not the one being defensive! You're the one being defensive!

Do the Math

Eleven guys walk into a basement to play poker at eight o'clock and are divided into two tables of five. Two guys have gone bust (one from each table) after the first couple of hours. It takes another two hours to claim just one more guy. By the sixth hour though, two combat-fatigued guys have flaked-out and gone kamikazee (losing everything in one suicidal hand). Then a phonecall from one guy's wife results in his premature cashout. The two tables are consolidated into one, but soon the host tips over onto the floor. After two more grueling hours, wherein the host has managed to crawl only halfway up the stairs to his sleeping quarters, the remaining guys split what's left of the pot (less than a couple hundred) and skulk home to beat the rising dawn.

i netted about $2.

Was it worth it?

In Cyberspace No One Cares If You Scream

There are, however, exceptions to that rule. And we, the staff at Keeferman.Net, are here with a reminder that Keeferman cares.

Crimefightin' ain't easy though and it'll take a lot outta ya. After a brief hiatus, Keeferman's ready to get back down to work. 2009 was a great year -and not just because it was the Year of the Ox. 2010, the Year of the Space Odyssey, promises to be even better, but you've got to remember to do your part. Goverment stipends aren't as big as they used to be, corporate sponsorship in these situations is a tricky ethical tightrope to walk, and guild regulations limit the size (though not the Quantity) of gifts from individual public donors. Keeferman does, however, have expenses and a family to support.

You're civic-minded, but maybe you haven't really had the opportunity to express yourself. Perhaps you've been meaning to donate, but were just waiting for the right time. Well, it could be that the time is now. Why don't we all present Keeferman with symbolic gestures of respect and appreciation? Let's all give 'til it hurts.

Afterall, you gotta Give love to get love.

Thank you and Happy New Year,

-the Staff

P.S. Please forward all requests for acts of heroism to helpline @ keeferman.com . There's no need to scream in ALL CAPS though. Keeferman considers every inquiry to be critically important.
