"Aww! You didn't tell me you were gonna kill it!"

Woohoo! It's pumpkin carving time again! Time to transform these colorful gourd-like squashes into funny, scary, or gruesome faces or images of Halloween.

This is probably my 2nd favorite picture with my cat in it. At our house, the leaves...

Don't know if any of you follow hockey or know who Brian Gionta is (he's the Captain on the Montreal Canadiens), but his little brother, Stephen Gionta is on the Albany Devils. What's cool is that Brian started out in the AHL in Albany back when the team was the Albany River Rats, and now his younger brother...
