Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Because books.

My favorite was a threeish-year-old at the church thing the other night. I didn't recognize the costume, so I asked him who he was. He looked at me and said very clearly, "Sean." Well, all right then.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Just had two witches and a zombie girl who, when I answered the door, said "Oh. You looked like this last year."

I smiled and said "I look like this every day."

Watching the the neighbor lady is REALLY A VAMPIRE OMG thoughts go across their faces was great. I love Halloween!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

and I was picturing some sort of mark on your fence like hobo marks, only to warn Mormons away from nonmembers.

No stick drawing of a kitty for you!

and then after he got the candy "Have a nice day!!!" I could hear him saying it all up the street.

Baby Lauren (who is now 2) was saying, "Bless you!" to every person who sneezed or coughed in a restaurant today. Lots of "thank you" as well, but it was the random blessings to strangers that I found most charming.

Sometimes kids say the absolute best things.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I smiled and said "I look like this every day."

Ahahaha I love you.

He was actually Optimus Prime, Cass. Geek parents! I was ashamed I didn't know who he was. Or who he was dressed up as, I should say.

I smiled and said "I look like this every day."

When I told Sara that you dress that way every day, she was amazed and impressed. I could see the wheels spinning in her head, too, I have to say.

Crap. I took a double dose of the fake!sudafed instead of a single of the real. No wonder it isn't working. Feh.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A man and woman came to my door with a baby in a stroller who was no more than a year old. The baby was dressed as Superman. I tried to hand the baby a piece of candy, and the father said no, that I should let the baby take it from the bowl. I tried holding the bowl out to the baby, but he seemed to have no interest in it, so I just gave him the candy, and the father looked very disappointed.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I smiled and said "I look like this every day."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

We have had two people. I blame us being elsewhere, trick or treating, earlier.

As we are ALWAYS starting later, I encourage kids to FOR GOD'S SAKE, TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!
