My Baby Thinks the Computer Cord is Candy, West Hartford Town Council, Sports Skeds

Good morning, West Hartford! Today is Monday, Oct. 21, 2013; there are 71 days left in the year.

Friends, I know I am not making any earth-shattering observations here, but babies are like cats.

You buy toys for them, which they may take an interest in for a few minutes. But then they start playing with stuff that not only isn’t a toy, but is life-threatening. The power cord to my computer is a frequent target for the baby.

How on Earth did humans survive this long?

Here’s what’s going on this week:

1. The Town Council meets on Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. A public hearing on a moratorium on marijuana production and retail facilities is scheduled for 7 p.m.

2. Leaf pickup begins in town today.

3. Big week of high school sports includes Hall/Conard boys and girls soccer on Wednesday. The boys play at Hall, the girls at Conard. Both games are at 3:45 p.m.

4. Halloween is just around the corner. My family rated candy corn, because be quiet, that’s why. Check it out here.
