Tricks and treats

First, the trick:

P.C. McPrince died Monday, Oct. 30, 2006, from complications of a virus after a weekend of failed life-extending measures. He was about 3 years old.

The Hewlett-Packard laptop served us nobly, surfing the Interweb, bringing us into the blogosphere and ably handling many a vacation photo - though grumbling over multitasking while working with large image files.

Survivors include his father, Seth; mother, Amy; brother, Wiley; and a son, Mac, who was born shortly after his death.

Remembrances to charity. Arrangements by Apple.

Now, the treat:

Had our second-annual Halloween carving/costume party Sunday night with our westside gang and extended family.



We had a cowgirl and a Leatherman, a couple of pirates, a stagehand, a wee princess and a tiny Jack-o-lantern, and a Britney and a K-Fed. Guess which one we were?
