Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my cooling cookies!  How are you?  The nights get nippier and nippier, or is it more nippy and more nippy?  Who cares.  You know what I mean.  It’s good sleeping weather.  More and more trees are starting to turn colors and/or lose leaves.  The stress of the drought will cause a lot of them to go into early dormancy.  Some of the older or sicker ones might not make it at all.  Oh dear.

Our compelling and alluring Green Bay Packers made it Thursday night past versus the Chicago Bears.  Thank you, mighty Pack, for annihilating our opponents.  May the force be with you when you face the Seattle Seahawks this coming Monday night, Sept. 24, 7:30 p.m., at CenturyLink Field.  May the force allow you to destroy our enemies.  Kick their butts, boys!

EMERGENCY! DON’T FORGET!  THERE IS STILL AN ELECTION COMING UP!

Oh my, it can’t come fast enough for me.

This past Saturday, Señor Zanza and I attended the Great Lakes Brewfest held at the Racine Zoo.  What an unbelievable selection of craft brews and homemade beer! Unfortunately, Señor Zanza felt compelled to sample each and every one.  Three or four times.  Oh dear, what a scene.  He is unaccustomed to ingesting such large quantities of inebriates.  He was puking his guts out in no time.  I drove us home.  Too bad.  I was hoping to spend some time exploring the possibility of a Madame Zoltar® Booth at Great Lakes Brewfest next year.

The following video is out of respect for the season.  It is “Tis Autumn,” performed by Stacey Kent (http://www.staceykent.com/), with an assist from Betty Boop:

Isn’t that soothing?  I hope so.  That’s the way I feel when you read my blogs.  Soothed by the thoughts of another.  Thank you so much.

The soothing soothsayer?  Madame Zoltar®, of course: madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com.

Enjoy your week, my darling irregulars.  Now is the time for fall cleanups.  Start battening down the hatches.  Old Man Winter approaches.  Utraquism!
