I had to use this shave combo today - because when I ordered UberEats for lunch today - I got this notification. Either this is a good omen or the economy is hitting everyone hard.

How much do I tip? The standard tithe of 10% seems a little cheap. I better give him a good rating.

I have to admit - I never read the book IT, have never watched any of the movies - but there are some clowns that do freak me out. When I was 4, I had this shoe holder that was a plastic clown that was attached to the wall and apparently I used to rip it down every night. But, I loved the Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey clowns - don’t know why.

This is a hard scent to match with anything - So I figured might as well go with the citrusy based Halloween Man Hero instead of Halloween Man X.

I don’t think we’re doing a Halloween thing - other than I suppose we’ll buy candy and leave it out for the kids.

Have a great weekend!

I am a wimp when it comes to horror anything - I did go (probably due to peer pressure) to see Pet Cemetery and Poltergeist, but that is the extend of it (though I have walked the Exorcist stairs in Georgetown 😂). The closest I’ve come it the book and movie - Something Wicked This Way Comes.

My kids still tease me to this day that when I was married to their mom - I jumped on her lap when we were watching What Lies Beneath (Michelle Pfeiffer ❤️) during one of those dramatic scenes.
 
Here’s something @MilkCrate that will crack you up (since we are in the same biz)……one of my new guys today was complaining that the network was performing slowly. He said it reminded him of when he was young and had to use DSL. I told him that my first internet connected computer - in my Army days - was 9600 baud - just so I could get cc: Mail.

Compuserve was a thing - and AOL hadn’t taken off yet.

I was there … damn I feel old.

Being Gen X, I watched the whole world change.
