Well, that was fun! Since my last post we've had a costume contest and roving potluck lunch. I wish I had a nickel for each time someone has said to me, "C'mon Brett, eat!"

The costume prizes were awarded in 3 categories, Most Original, Funniest, and Scariest. The most original went to the woman who dressed as a shower, complete with curtain, soap, shampoo, and other bathroom odds and ends. The funniest went to the woman who dressed as a baby in a diaper, little shirt, bottle, and bib. I won scariest with my long gray robe, walking stick, and skeleton mask.

Other costumes included the woman who dressed as a pirate. She wore leggings that represent the high top boots but she's wore little open toe high heel shoes. One man dressed as a pregnant nun with "her" first baby in a sling carrier. Then, in the middle of the party we heard a groaning noise coming down the hall and here came a chain gang in striped jump suits and chains, escorted by a warden and an executioner. They were from the Commanding Officer's area and the middle convict was the commanding officer. One of the junior officers came in T-shirt and shorts and a wig of long red hair. Another showed up as a Rasta man with dreadlocks and rainbow colored cap.

As I say, lots of fun. I suppose I should do some work now...
