Hello Rocktober! The Recess Room is looking awesome for Halloween. This had been a wild weekend for HB with only 2 of the 3 days of the Airshow due to a terrible coastal oil spill closing beaches for awhile then a crazy Monday night with two hours of lightning, thunder, rain and some hail. So thankful for a normal fun King Trivia night!

"Do you remember the 21st day of September?' Thank you Earth, Wind and Fire but that was yesterday! Today is the beginning of Autumn with the equinox full moon. Such a magical time in this fast moving year transitioning from the dark days of Covid and the pandemic pause into roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun Rocktober soon! Which at Recess Room means HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS are starting to creep up in the restaurant and they are so awesome! This week you just get a sneak peak as my extra pics were in the wrong photo mode!
So lets talk trivia! Keit did it AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LUCKY 17TH WEEKS IN A ROW AS #1. UNO!!! HIGHWAY STAR!! Congratulations! Some close calls with your competition but you kept the lead.

My off the wall selfie is a way back Wednesday pic of myself with my Irish cousin in Dublin with a Garda which is Irish/Gaelic for POLICE. Nice chap. He actually had a gf in Tustin. This pic if from 1998. It had been 20 years since I had been back to see my relatives. A pivotal point in my life. Read more in my upcoming book by March 2022. If you haven't visited Ireland yet, put it on your bucket list and do it.
