It's sort of sad really. Halloween nowadays just isn't the same as it used to be. It used to be a holiday for huge roving bands of kids to go around the neighborhood and score treats. Now it's mostly a holiday for women to dress like whores and adults to get completely shitfaced at parties. Is there a single costume advertised to women for this holiday that doesn't have the prefix 'sexy' attached to it? Sexy nurse, sexy pirate, sexy teacher, sexy dental hygienist. I have nothing against sexy per se, but it seems to have gotten a little out of control. I just miss the good old days when Halloween wasn't so full of booze and debauchery. Not that most parents would let their kids have a good old fashioned Halloween anyway. They'd just be worried that junior would get shived or kidnapped by the local pedophile. Each year there are less and less trick or treaters. The doorbell only rang a half dozen times tonight whereas when I was a kid in this neighborhood, it was pretty much nonstop from the time school let out to 10pm. It's just a different era I guess.

Moving day
So, it should be to no one's surprise that I didn't actually manage to fall asleep. It was just a lost cause and when Connie called me at 8am, I…
