Yesterday marked 6 months since Beverly's dad passed away. What a mark he left on his family!

I will be out of the office tomorrow. So -- BOO!
Halloween has changed so much! When I was a kid, we would set out at about 5:30 and hit neighborhoods steadily until about 8:30 or 9. We had the old-fashioned paper grocery sacks. I have no doubt mine would weigh at least 10 pounds by the end of the evening.
Then I would go home and dump it all on my bed. My older brother would come in and grab all the Bit-O-Honeys. My favorites were popcorn balls and Almond Joys, followed by Butterfingers, Mr. Goodbars and Baby Ruths (I can't remember ever getting Heath bars, which are one of my very favorites). As you can see, I wasn't too picky when it came to chocolate.
It was a dentist's dream.

I miss dad too.
How about the little brothers? Did they get anything? "Ney" I say. Nothing. Nada. Nil. Zip. Zero.
Then again, I don't ever remember you going trick-or-treating. So maybe you did give me something. If so, please disregard paragraph #2.
John,
I wish I could say that I gave you some candy. But your description sounds pretty accurate to me. Actually I think I quit trick or treating when I was about 10. So you were only two. I will hide behind that excuse.
As for my older brother -- I didn't GIVE him any either. He just took it. Do you see a pattern here?
BOO yourself.
I'm dressing up for Halloween as a big person. Creative, huh?
I'm getting the feeling you are going to be out of the office tomorrow so you can go trick-or-treating earlier in the day.
