I was Santa Clause. You wouldn't believe how many kids wanted hugs, nor how many kids wanted an IPOD!

    I dressed up like a fat old man and the wife dressed up like a little old lady. [:D]

    We had three trick-or-treaters. Five less than last year. Things are looking up though. I found out today the fellow I buy my beef from has a one month old granddaughter. Next year or the year after we should have four trick-or-treaters. [:D]

    Well, for about 4 hours I was wearing my chem suit and gas mask, then I was dressed as an A1C who's BDUs can't wait until the end of the week so they can get washed. After that, I was dressed as a crew chief who's coveralls look like they got sucked through a jet engine while he was wearing them. Then it was back to the BDUs.

    I was "Daddy".

    So far, it's the most fun I've ever had at Halloween.

    The radio station I work for is right in downtown Sterling, so we get a full two hours of trick-or-treaters every year. That's some real fun.

    Especially when my classmates bring in their grandchildren.


    Who are the same age as my daughter.

    Makes me feel younger than I have a right to.

    My girlfriend's grandson is 4 1/2 years old. The kid is fascinated with meteorology, he knows cumulus clouds, cirrus clouds, all that stuff.
    He told his mom he wanted to dress as a tornado on Halloween.
    She made him a tornado suit, a sheet of 1 inch thick black foam, cut wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, it was sewn to the front of his shirt, so that when you looked at him from the front he was V shaped.
    Mom glued on little toy cows, telephone poles, and houses that had been "swept up by the tornado."
    When people answered the door, the kid would spin around.
    I asked the girlfriend, "In what direction did he spin?"
    She said, "Counterclockwise."
    That is the direction tornadoes spin, I swear this kid is a genius.

    Last year I was PO'd at Halloween. The trick or treaters were rude and I was disenchanted by the whole thing.

    My oldest son's birthday is Halloween and we try to make it fun for him.

    We live in a small town, and average about 125 kids a night on Halloween.

    This year, I am ecstatic with the turnout. I bet we had 150 and they were pretty much nice and in costume and courteous. This is a HUGE change from previous years. I was getting things put away about 8:15 and a car pulled up and four older black kids got out. They were not dressed but had masks on...I was a bit nervous so I me them half way across the yard and said...real nicely "hey fellas, how bout peelin off those masks, you gonna scare the dog." they did and we talked a bit and I found them to be mannerly and polite and just having fun on Halloween. I did mention that 4 black youths in masks in our neighborhood might cause some concern, and they got the idea....even argued amongst themselves about the decision to have on masks. I was pre-disposed to be wary of them, and told them so...BUT I would have been just as wary of white kids.

    I'm proud that I took the time to chat with these kids. Maybe my natural southern prejudice is breaking down.

    Yeah, there's something to be said about us "late bloomers".

    I'm seriously glad that I didn't have kids with any of my former wives. That just makes this one more of a gift.

    I decided to be an "Old Hound Dog" this holloween. My girlfriend was delighted to hear that. She said it was about time I was something different.
    But, she got angry when I told her all I was going to do was lay on the porch and "try" to lick myself. (we can still porch sit in Florida in October)

    She told me well, looks like you are what you are every holloween ..."A no-good, common, rotten, S.O.B ! ! " I said dont forget .."Worlds Worst !"

    Its so nice to know she loves me for the quality of my character and just doesent see me as a sex object like all the rest ..(sigh)
    Trick or Treat to all y'all !
