We generally don’t observe Halloween. Although we were considering volunteering at a Halloween event at a community center where we train in karate, tonight’s weather isn’t exactly conducive to outdoor activities. Instead, we’re home, vegging in front of our respective computers, I’m sipping mugs of hot water, trying to ward off what appears to be the beginning of a cold.

Last year, we bought some candy to pass out, but only one child came by. I gave the kid two heaping handfuls of sugary goodness. The rest of the candy went straight to my hips. We didn’t even bother buying candy this year. Trust me, my hips don’t need the extra baggage.

It’s 9:05 pm and the gleeful chorus of “trick-or-treat!” did not pierce the night even once. The evening is eerily silent, but that’s to be expected with such scary weather outside. I suppose even little ghouls and goblins prefer to stay dry.

I hope you had a safe and fun Halloween, how ever you decided to spend it.
