Halloween

Although my earliest memories of Halloween are somewhat trumautic---unsuccessfully trying to ward off my dad from my candy and then the tragic separation of the candy*, I still love the holiday.  I love the whimsy of Halloween, the legends, the history, the costumes.  I kind of see it as I see the internet.  Sure, like the internet, there's a seedy side to both, but that doesn't mean that both can't be great.





*My candy and I were reunited each year but the "good chocolate" was always gone .  This might be why I like candy over chocolate. For the most part, my dad left the candy alone.
