What Kind Of Person?
I read an interesting article about the most hated candy handed out at Halloween and on this list I saw that three were my absolute favorites.
The article questioned what kind of people actually give this candy out and I decided to write about it:
I don’t care what the haters say
it’s not Halloween if I don’t get
Peanut Butter kisses
and jawbreakers
and acres of candy corn
and I want enough to stuff the
severed head, a plastic one
that I named Buckley so full
that his eyes pop out and hit the floor with a plop.
Buckley’s eyes belonged to Marina and Marietta
the only difference was Marian and Marietta’s heads
were not plastic, they were made of bone.
But very much like Buckley their heads were empty until I stuffed them with candy.
That will teach them to trick or treat a Ghoul’s house and make fun of her bowls of candy
her favorite candy that she loves and hands out in high spirits on Halloween.

Who will you visit on Halloween?
Will you have fun, will it be a scream?

Will it be a quick visit or will you never leave?

Season’s Screamings
The wonderful thing about Halloween is that there isn’t a right way or a wrong way of doing it- it’s kind of like customizing a funeral service or a what “sex the baby is going to be reveal party”
Those events either go swimmingly fine and everyone has a meaningful experience or fire engines and mental health professionals are involved instead.
Either way you’re in for an adventure.

Over this last weekend my family and friends were busy getting ready for Halloween- some of us had festivals or little parties, some of us carved or painted or bought pumpkins. I thought I’d share some of those moments here:
My son painted pumpkins:
I got my nails painted:
My dog Hamish Macbeth and his friend Te-Te went to a Halloween party in their nifty costumes

There will be more to do and lots to see and this week is going to be a good one I think.
