I was invited to a house warming as well as a halloween party tonight...

I feel like Mr. Popularity, a real party hound. Two party's in one night. Just like college.

I really wanted to go to both but then again we are closing in on inside weather time and that spells trouble for people like me.

Why, you ask? Well, because of my "delicate" condition, I have to be careful when ever people gather together in close spaces because if I catch an errant germ, it could really mess up my day. Any kind of germ that settles in my compromised lungs could send me to the hospital.

Mrs WCGreen was going to stay home but I told her to go out and have a good time. Well we got to talking and we decided to take advantage of technology. So Mrs WCGreen and I signed up for the Skype and she took her lap top to the first party and they showed me around the house and I was able to enjoy the party without the mess.

Right now Mrs WCGreen is headed over to the other party. My old college room mate and a dear friend are throwing a halloween party and Joe is a wiz at decorating. And he loves the Halloween stuff. Mrs WCGreen is on the way back to house to drop off some food and then she is off to the party.

Can't wait to see all the costumes. It's almost like being there. I think I am going to tell them to sit me in the corner so I can just kind of hang and if anyone wants to chat, I'll be there. It's almost as good as being there. Almost. But it sure beats sitting home alone.

What an age we live in...

I had been doing a blog about all that I had to go through and I fell behind with my remaining tax clients. I didn't think it was fair to spend all that time to work in a blog and not work on the tax returns I had in my office.

Keep up the good spirits...I know it is difficult but depression is your enemy.

And with the magic of Skype, you can! How good is that?

And no messy germs to worry about either...

Enjoy your incredible technology!
