The Daily News
1 Well, got through Halloween with nary a coincidence. Almost disappointing except that there’s never a time when Halloween is disappointing. And there’s always something cool.
2 And there was the little thing of the earthquake…
3 I don’t know that the earthquake could count as something cool, because it was the night before last, and I technically didn’t know it was an earthquake while it was happening.
4 ; )
5 I have no idea why I included a winky emoticon guy to do my expressions.
6 Just seemed like the right thing to do.
7 Moving on: I couldn’t help but notice last night that kids seem to be hanging on to their youth a lot longer than they used to.
8 There was a knock on the door and this kid who looked like Danny DeVito was standing there with a Halloween bag.
9 I didn’ t know whether to give him a pack of candy corn or a cigar.
10 Within five minutes this girl dressed like either a maid or a bearded lady rapped on the door.
11 I gave her the rest of the candy bowl for fear she might rob me.
12 Fortunately I guess kids don’t do tricks anymore. We were out of candy but nobody pulled a trick on us.
13 I guess tricks are for kids. <thud>
14 M’bad.
15 Moving on, Part 2: Last night on KTVU’s Ten O’ Clock News it was reported that people spent 6 billion dollars on Halloween this year. That’s utterly astounding. When I thought about it, it made sense.
16 I always loved Halloween, and always got into it. I think it’s partially because it gives everyone an excuse to dress up silly, to be let loose and bring out their creative sides. It may be that it’s history came down much more unscathed than most holidays.
17 Maybe it’s just plain fun and perfectly placed in the Fall.
18 Up at the Chill it was larger than any event so far, with literally thousands watching and enjoying a hugely successful lunchtime costume contest. This will become one of the biggest events that place has within three years.
19 It caught me completely by surprise, but was remarkably spirited, fun, and successful. Absolutely an amazing day.
20 So I emerge from Halloween completely victorious, as well as back in touch with the entire Heidi Chronz, which took Leadership by storm.
21 Just a fun, amazing day.
22 Well, that’s about it. Thanks for listening.
23 Have a lovely Thursday, one of the best days of the week!
24 Peace y’all.
