Growing up, Halloween used to be fun especially when you got too old to go trick or treating. All of the older kids would end up just going around the neighborhoods scaring people. There was always a few houses that would do it big.. You stopped off.. grab a hotdog.. that sort of thing. and it was usually packed with people trick or treating. Where I lived, it was three neighborhood next to each other, with the middle neighborhood being the biggest and there were a lot of people who didn't live in the neighborhoods that would come trick or treat. There would be police directing traffic.
I am sure its still like that in a lot of places, but Halloween doesn't seem to be as popular as it was. Maybe I just didn't notice when I was younger, but there are a lot of churches that advertise having something. I see one every year that doesn't call it Halloween, but they have a different theme every year kids can dress up as "favorite superhero" that sort of thing.

Listened to the Billy Cannon punt return on car radio.

My favorite memory is when my youngest was 2 and I was pulling him in a wagon to help keep up with his 8-year-old cousins and 5-year-old brother. We are about halfway through the neighborhood and pull up to a house with two teenagers manning the candy bowl; both were dressed as skeletons but in those full-body suits that block out your face so all you can really see is the painted-on skeleton bones. Well as I turn to walk up the sidewalk to bring my boy to get his candy he sees the skeletons and looks at me and says "no". Just like that no excitement, no fear, just a flat plain "no". Had to wave the kids off and to the kids credit they pulled down the face covering to help him feel safer and he looked me dead in my eyes and just shook his head. I love halloween for that memory because it was the first real sign of his definitiveness in his personality. No I will not be doing that.

We are going to need an update on this one.

I agreed on the condition that I was to get half the candy, and she was showered with so much that I had a full year's supply of Reese's cups and Butterfingers. Was tempted to make her wear it again the next year.
You pimped out your 12 YO daughter to get candy?

I would not characterize it that way, though I know this is the O-T and snarky comments are the norm. I just allowed her to have some fun and choose her costume, and would have been fine whether she picked Super Mario or whatever. I thought she was just beautiful, as usual, although I was a bit more ambivalent about the thigh highs. The costume itself was actually less revealing than the dress her mother got her for the seventh grade dance.

To add a final Halloween story, I once costumed as Dr. Cornelius from Planet of the Apes films and had a good quality costume with facial prosthetics like in the films. When I went through the drive-through at McDonald's the woman employee at the window lost her mind screaming, which had to have scared all the other employees and everyone else in the place. Drawback was that with the prosthetics on, I had to tear my cheeseburger into small pieces that I could get into my mouth.

I was in an on again off again relationship with the girl I was likely supposed to marry. Met my now ex wife at a party and broke it off two days later with the original woman. Crazy part is those two days were great...and yet I still burned it all down.
One of the costliest mistakes of my life.
It probably wouldn't have worked out, and I have a great family now. But good god it would have made for a better ten year period of my life if I was willing to dress up in a matching costume that night and walk around with her rather than filling an entire backpack full of beer and hanging out with my idiot friends. Been almost two decades now and I can still remember her dancing through the house in nothing but a cape.

Yes, they can do some awesome things to us sometimes. Reminded me of the time a girlfriend stopped at my house right before Christmas and I had not felt like putting up decorations. She insisted and went into my garage to bring in my artificial tree, lights and ornaments, but came back in wearing only ribbons and bows. Made for a great night of fun, but she was otherwise narcissistic and I dodged a bullet with that one.
