Oh...and one more thing. Happy Halloween!

Brains for Halloween

I think this is a great treat for kids. Instead of giving out candies...and eventually cavities...to the little trick or treaters this or any Halloween, how about giving them food for brains? There must be one or ten old children’s books floating around in your home that hasn’t been touched in years. Why not put them to good use again? I’m sure there are plenty of children out there who would appreciate a good read more than a visit to the dentist.

Besides, it’s not like this country couldn’t use a few more brainy kids anyway. Gotta start somewhere.

Halloween

We were invited to a big Halloween party on Saturday evening. It has been years for George and literally eons for me since we’ve both donned any kind of costume.

George decided to be a cool vampire. He got the cool look down but the fangs just wouldn’t bloody cooperate. He finally gave up on the biters. I told him to play some outcast vampire who has been stripped of his fangs for punishment of unspeakable crimes in the underworld realm.

Or something like that. I’m sure there’s a movie or a television series with stories like that out there.

Oh wait...aren’t we devout fans of “True Blood?” Well, duh!

I wanted to be “Whatever.” You know, throwing things on that doesn’t match and completely makes no sense whatsoever. A pair of fatigues, a flimsy blouse-looking thing, a monstrous over-the-top-gay feather boa, some shiny things there, a few sprinkles of glitter there.

And voilà...Whatever!

Our friends Al and Steve hosted one amazing Halloween party at their beautiful home. Well, their beautiful home was temporarily turned into some ghoulish place, somewhat resembling Disneyland’s “The Haunted Mansion.” Absolutely chilling. However, all the guest were in cheerful spirits and brought tons of food for the potluck.

And on this spooky note...Happy Haunts.

Getting ready.

Ready to strike and Strike a pose.

Count Cool.
