... and it’s already surprisingly nippy here in Michigan. The colder than usual weather has me wondering if we’re in for a nasty winter this year.
Still, one thing that hasn’t changed is the tendency for cold weather to get me thinking of the upcoming holidays. I’m doing better this year, though, I’ve managed to make it to October without busting out the Christmas music in my car (I’ve been known to start as early as mid-September). Just saw the first ad on TV for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular that they have at the Fox Theater in Detroit every year. I’m not particularly fond of that production, but it’s a sure sign the holidays are zooming up fast.
For the last couple of years I’ve been meaning to come up with a good costume to wear to work for Halloween and for the last couple of years I managed to procrastinate to the point that I don’t have anything ready for when the day arrives. Every year I resolve to start planning early in the month for it and this year isn’t any different. I’ve got exactly 4 weeks to figure out what I’m going to be and assemble something that resembles a costume.
So I’m curious what the rest of you folks plan on dressing up as for Halloween, assuming you plan to. I asked this question last year and no one responded to it at all so I’m hoping for a better response this year. If you could do your dream costume, what would it be?




















No one EVER dresses up over here apart from an increasing number of kids who have picked up an overwhelming desire for all things American from a diet of such erudite TV shows as Smart Guy, 8 Simple Rules and the like. Myself, I would quite like another excuse to dress up as those adults that do dress up only do so for things like comic relief and stag/hen parties. If you are short of an idea Les can I recommend Rasputin the well known murderous Russian monk, having the beard already you would only need to aquire a hessian habit and perhaps an ice pick or two embedded in your skull. Heres hoping you enjoy the holiday.
