Halloween...

So you rush home from work...
Hang Frankie in the window and the ghost on the bush...
Spiders on the step and skeletons and bats around the front door...
Unpack the ceramic pumpkin and light candles to put in all the windows...
The crowning moment comes when the old BFR is dusted off and set up in the spare bedroom...
The speakers stack nicely in the gap in the open window and don't let in too much of the -6...
That old haunted house tape begins to moan and groan and scream out into the street...
(how long do cassettes last anyway - it must be 20 years since I taped and taped and taped the same groans ... anyway, when that tape perishes, that moment will probably signal the end of my halloweens)

















Halloween Teddy guards the candy station - but not too well, I ate too much this year...
Katie barked a lot and John answered the door for at least 35 trick or treaters...
We are out of Cheesies but still have about 50 chocolate bars - no problem...
Maybe I can trade some for one of Lisa's candy apples - Phil posted photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/shuffledog/284377514/

whatever --- I have to go to bed now and try to sleep with all this sugar in my system...
later man, jan
