What a great Halloween!

This one was a little bit different. The girls went Trick-or-Treating with the son of one of our friends. They walked all the way over to their grandpa's house, collecting candy along the way. Their Halloween buckets were overflowing.

Meanwhile, Gwen and I handed out candy with our friends. I played some Celtic Halloween songs in my Jaskier costume. We had a bloody tent set up. A cat yowled as Trick-or-Treaters approached the tent. Smoke drifted out of the tent. My friend Matt handed out candy as they walked in the curtain. Only one kid screamed in shock. LOL.

It was a welcome change now that the kids are growing up. Now it's time to go full on in with my Celtic Christmas Podcast plans. [insert evil Halloween laugh here] Mwahahaha!

It's Genetic Counselor Awareness Day. We're gonna celebrate with a song that my wife Gwen Gunn and I wrote for her graduation in gentic counseling. The song will appear on my 2020 album, Selcouth. Marc Gunn is a Celtic Rhythm & Folk musician living in Atlanta, Georgia. He transforms the normal into something strange but wonderful with his musical instrument of choice, the autoharp. Find out more at http://celtfather.net Genetic Counseling Song lyrics by Gwen Gunn and Marc Gunn I ask you questions to build your pedigree You share half-siblings in your history Running short on white out. But I’ve got to correct Your brother of a step mother I don’t need to connect Ancestry, birth defects, disabilities I’m putting the final touch on your family tree Four generations in, and I just about lost it When you said, "By the way, does it matter that I’m adopted?" Genetic counselors. Genetic what? Genetic counselors Let us look into your genes FISH and SNPs arrays and WES We’ll teach you what it means. Setup your appointment for Genetic counseling It’s Friday afternoon but I’m here working late An insurance warrior with letters to write. Benefits, investigations, Medical necessity pre-authorizations The paperwork piles with each case I complete It’s up to me to get the testing that they need So I keep Color coding, stacking, and sorting How time has flown. Oh Look! It's Monday morning, I pick up the phone on the second ring DTC testing... it’s my favorite thing. But I hear them out. I assess their Risk But every word I say is missed They fill my brain with questions. I groan in despair. Because they they read about it on a blog somewhere Keeping my patience is oh so hard It’s just another case of MTHFRI ask you questions to build your pedigree You share half-siblings in your history Running short on white out.
