Manny Meets Mom and Friend

Yeah...this is my mom. She actually approved this post believe it or not. It's been an odd day. All in all, Manny enjoyed the occasion.

Updating the blog, you know.

Manny updated his own blog this evening.

Halloween goes to the dogs

I made home-made dog treats tonight. Manny tried to help but he can't quite lift the tray. I will leave them at work on Saturday for the dogs that come into work.

A little tin flower

I went to Starbucks today. I go there almost every day and the people who work there usually give me my drinks for really cheap because they are awesome. Well anyway, today I got a really yummy drink for 50 cents so I was feeling very good and in a giving spirit. I walked outside and a young hispanic guy was sitting on the corner making these tin flowers out of old cans. He said "hola" and I said it back. He asked "se habla espanol?" I responded with the most important sentence every American should no..."muy, muy pequeno," or "very, very little." He laughed and asked me if I would buy one of his flowers. Of course! I just got my drink for nearly nothing. I offered to buy one of the smaller, $3 ones. He didn't have change for a $10 so I sucked it up and bought the $5 one and he gave me my $5 in change...anyway, I didn't want to frighten him with Manny, so I waited until I got to work to snap the photos. Enjoy as much as I do.

Sleeping time

Saying goodnight to portland. I had a fairly bad night and before I went to bed I shut all the lights out and stared at downtown for several minutes. I can see every building perfectly and I wanted to take a photo of Manny looking out onto the city but my camera phone didn't show it well. I had to turn a light on and this photo shows the glare but oh well.

A doctor visit

Manny accompanied me to the doctor this afternoon. This is him relaxing while I was waiting.

Relaxing

Watching tv.

Dad's birthday

Happy birthday dad! Spaghetti Factoy...Manny didn't eat.

Brandon, Manny. Manny, Brandon.

This is the post from last night, the 22nd. I took this when I met my friend for a movie downtown and attempted to post it from my phone and it wasn't working. Pretty pathetic start to my "daily" blog huh? I will figure out the mobile so I can post from anywhere. Anyway, we saw "where the wild things are."

Helping hand

Pricing new items at work.
