Halloween Reflections

This being our first year as homeowners, we had trick or treaters for the first time this year. And even though I read about 10,000 hectoring newspaper columns on how "Halloween costumes are too slutty" - and one more about how the holiday is being stolen from the gays by the straights- everyone who came to the door was dressed tastefully. One girl, probably about five, even wore a full Stewie Griffin costume. But my favorite part was unquestionably the two little girls, who said "trick or treat" while barely in costume- accompanied by their father, who was dressed as Death. Good thing he didn't knock on the door himself, or else I wouldn't be writing this today.

And no, I didn't refuse candy to anyone- I wasn't introduced in having anyone writing "Bald Asshole" on my house.

I only needed the first sentence of that quote, actually, Oh well.

Happy (late) Halloween!
