Halloween Musings

Happy Halloween!

Today is a fun holiday, so why was I so worried, when I told my husband to be careful going to his job in inner-city Detroit this morning?  Why did I need to bring mt black metal cat decoration last night, to keep it safe from molestation?  Why does the City of Detroit need to have Angel Night curfews and patrols to keep people from being violent and destructive?  Why can't people just enjoy the fun?

I have a cauldron full of candy ready for the trick-or-treaters.  I'm looking forward to having all the cute little kids come around in their costumes.  I can't see them very well, but most are more than happy to tell me what they are.  I'm especially looking forward to my cousin bringing her two little girls to trick-or-treat after school this afternoon.  I know they made their own costumes, and they're really good at describing things to help me see them.  They have first dibs on the candy cauldron, too.

I wish I was going to see my own kids for Halloween, but they've been living with their dad for the last three years.  They tell me they'll all be wearing Star Wars costumes this year. I really hope their dad will send me some pictures of them.  The older ones are too old to trick-or-treat in their own right, so the teenagers will be going out to take their younger brother and sister around their neighborhood.
