Happy Halloween 2013

Happy Halloween 2013

All the leaves are dead,
And the sky is black.
I've been for a walk,
On Halloween night.
I'd be safe and warm,
If it weren't Hollows Eve.
Halloween nightmare,
On such a witching day.

It's 12 midnight and Halloween is officially over and in the books. Here in Youngstown, Ohio, the weather did not cooperate as it rained during the witching hours of trick or treat. The rain had washed the magic out of the air.

As usual these days, kids have lost the art of trick or treat. Many of the several hundred kids that braved the rain still could not grasp the concept of trick or treat. They walked up to the porch and just looked at me. They did not open their bags. Or say trick or treat. Or make any type of motion. Many of them reminded me of a young Michael Meyers from the Halloween movie fame. The small child staring blankly into space, not saying a word.

Anyway, only 22 days left to go. It's been a long ride but it's almost here. And thank you all.

Happy Halloween
