...or Hallowe'en, if you go with the NorthEastern contraction. (Having information like that cluttering up my head is why there's no room for anything remotely related to money-making, self-improvement, or any other vaguely useful topics...:-)
Reflecting on some of my favorite Halloween costumes as a kid...Thurston Howell III (which has been used several times as an adult,) Charlie Brown (ditto,) one year I was Yoda, complete with foam-rubber-filled three-toed feet, several years as a pirate or ghost when inspiration was low...
I am old enough also to remember the really cheesy plastic-smock-and-mask boxed costumes that all of us kids from the 1970's wore in our grade-school years. Yeah, that's right, kid, you look just like Spiderman...if Spiderman wore a plastic smock with a painting of himself on the front of it...
A few Halloween parties stand out in my mind, notably one from my senior year in High School. We'll keep this a family-related post, but let it suffice to say that a very friendly young lady demonstrated just how nice the dark corners of the Haunted House can be...another good year was in college, going as the seven castaways with 6 of my friends to a bar in Tuscaloosa and winning $300 as first prize. We more than drank away the prize afterwards, but the fun was in winning...and in seeing Thurston Howell III sing "Satin Sheets" as his karaoke selection (a definite side effect of having spent the brize money at the bar!)
On that lovely note...Happy Halloween, Hallowe'en, or whatever you call it. :-)
