I enjoy the enthusiasm of the little kids at the door, and helping my kids when they were little choose their costume. You would think it was of great import. You gotta have whatever superhero is hot at the time. When I was small, I cannot remember EVER getting a store bought costume. We had to make our own outta whatever crap we could find around the house.

Dad ate the best candy anyway. Something about "testing" it for safety. I think he was just glomming onto it.

So we shovel out the candy each year. But I get tired of the teenagers on the porch. Hell, go get a haircut and then get a job kid!

Meh, not much interest on my part in going to costume parties. Well, there are exceptions of course.

I remember running around the neighborhood, with all my brothers, in my dad's old Marine uniforms. Yes, they were way too big, but they were cool!!

The brunette looks a little scary - she seems to be gritting her teeth rather than smiling.
