I'll go for this one! Sounds fun. I'm trying to think of what kind of costume to wear this year. Last year I went out as a milkmaid. That was fun. I even wore my costume to work. 
I haven't been out to a haunted house or anything like that in years. Yeah, they're so much fun. It's just almost impossible not to interact with someone at these kinds of events.
I don't like them, so I just don't go to them.

I don't know if what I did tonight fits one of the challenges but I think it is in the spirit of the challanges.
Some background: I am the lead driver of a van pool of 15 people. One of my riders invited everyone on the van to a Halloween party that she and her husband were throwing. I decided to go. I did not wear a costume because I did not have time to put one together (See the Chat thread) So I went to the party. None of the other van people where there and the only person I knew was the hostess.
I stayed about 90 minutes. I sat watching the football game with about 10 other people. (There were about 50 people total.) The game was a point of reference for conversations with the others watching the game.

Yes, there were a couple of ladies watching the games with their husbands and I had a brief conversation with one of them.

There were a lot of couples with children there. I did not see many unattached people.

Have they tried hooking you up yet??
No, they haven't. And that could be an interesting thing to ponder why.
And with that I am off to bed.
Goodnight Michele and Robb.

Just checking in. I've got three challenges so far. . .
1. Talk to someone of a dif race
2. Go to a holloween party
3. Talk to a coach or someone . . . (this might be a little difficult)
By the way, Utilityfielder, your posts have really been good. I really see you taking a moment to exhale and enjoy life and the people in your world. That's it!!! Way to go, dude!

I asked out the lady sitting next to me on the plane, sort of.
For once I was seated next to an attractive lady instead of a crotchety old man. So we chatted for a while, talked about restaurants, beaches San Diego and karaoke so I invited her to come laugh at me like the rest of the people do. She said no of course (I expected her to actually) but I asked more for the practice than anything. If she had said yes that would have just been icing on the practice cake.

It was the asking that was important. It's hard to get back into the swing of some things.

Hey, I need someone to give me a challenge. 
My "social calendar" has just been planned for me, and I have lots of Christmas activities over the next six weeks (dinners, parades, and other community events, as well as church events.)
Of course, these challenges will be for all of us, not just me.
So those of you done with your other challenges, let's hear 'em, along with some new challenges.

(That's ok, I probably would've watched the game, too) But seriously, halloween parties are definitely part of the challenge. Glad you enjoyed it!!

I was happy to see ya at the party, though.
Well related to the credit card machine. All the self serve copiers have creidt card machines attached to them now and I needed a receipt but couldn't figure out where to get that and had to ask. Oh that is at the self serve receipt kiosk.
