Hallowe'en

[Desdichado]

I like Talk Like a Pirate Day because I can dress up as a Pirate and talk like a Pirate.

This coming Monday, don't forget.

How can you not like Halloween? It is the coolest holiday.

Sure, if you ignore all the other holidays.

I'm guess I'm no fun, since I am not a big fan of Halloween either.

Last year I played a AD&D 2nd edition game at our local "hobby store" while the regulars complained how much candy they didn't get.

Last year we got 150-200 costumed kiddies. This year, we noticed several more house swaps, with the older people moving off to Florida (The couple I bought this house from were headed down there as well), and the newer families having up to five kids.

So we're heading for BJ's wholesale club and gearing up, as well as getting our small inflatable pumpkin ready. I'm hoping to get a large one this year, as our Christmas bear is 8' tall and the pumpkin is only four.

As for trick-or-treating... My children are an engaged 19-year-old working his way into management and a 15-year-old. They're rather past it.

I like Halloween because its the only day I can wear a mask and not get in trouble with the law. And running around with clown face paint.
