Hallowe'en
Last night, I found out why it is that kids around here go trick-or-treating on both the 30th and the 31st. It turns out that on the evening of the 31st there's a big parade downtown, and all - or most - of the kids get taken to see it.
Twenty-plus years I've lived in this town, and I didn't know this.
I had a late class yesterday - didn't get home until 9:00 - and so couldn't give out treats. Today I bought three bags of candy. I got one visitor.
Oh, well. Next year the 30th will be a Friday, and my department doesn't have any late classes on that day, so I'll get the full complement.
Meanwhile, I've got about three bags worth of candy....
