Did you actually give out all the Halloween candy last night, or did you make sure to buy plenty (because you don’t want any little goblins to be disappointed)? And has Barry finished all of his today… Which might explain the sugar-induced vision in front of him.
Yet another Halloween with no kids coming by. I did swing by the store this afternoon for some half-price bags of candy to refresh my stash. I have a daily “chocolate snack” of two fun-sized bars. Today will be a 100 Grand and a Kit Kat.
Speaking of “A Christmas Carol”… probably one of my all-time favorite lines (made all the more entertaining because our daughter is deathly allergic to the things…) has to be, “Marley’s face. It was not in impenetrable shadow as the other objects in the yard were, but had a dismal light about it, like a bad lobster in a dark cellar.”
I mean Mr. Dickens… what exactly does a “bad lobster” do in a dark cellar?

Answer me one question.
Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they
shadows of things that may be, only?
