Happy Halloween!

Jack-o-lantern

Halloween is definitely one of my favorite holidays. Not because I like to dress up in costumes (I do, but that's another story), not because I'm all goth and like spooky stuff (I don't, really), and not because it's a day off from work (it isn't). I like Halloween because the few children that come to my door seem so happy and excited, and I remember being that way when I was out trick-or-treating as a kid. Seeing all the ghosts and goblins stumbling around the neighborhood with giant bags of candy just makes this cynical old man feel a little less old and cynical.
