—I love how NBC's Sunday football-highlights show gives a whole 30 seconds of coverage to the weekend's English Premier League soccer matches.

—We had some trouble with the lock on our front door (the bolt was no longer retracting, so when leaving the house we had to lock the door from the outside with a key), so a locksmith came this morning and replaced that part of the lock mechanism. The charge for about five minutes of work was $180. Clearly this is the line of work I should be in...

—As of today, we still haven't bought any Halloween candy, so I guess we need to get on that. We got many more trick-or-treaters the first couple of years we lived here than more recently, but we still need a bag. Or two.
