October 31
- Despite reports to the contrary, it was a lovely night out and we went trick-or-treating for hours. This is a fantastic neighborhood for it! Very festive yard décor, fireworks, and generous fistfulls of candy (although I thought the shiny Jesus pencil was an odd choice). Definitely a 5 star Halloween!
- About 5 minutes after Markus said he wished we had a copy of The Rocky Horror Picture Show we could watch (for old times sake), it came on TV. An excellent background for treat sorting.
