Today is a Halloween of course. The sky is blue and chilly this morning. I should have enough candy for any trick-or-treaters who come by this evening. I remember in years past living at home with Mom and Dad.
On Halloween we would turn off all of the lights in the front area of whatever house we were renting at the time. We always seemed to have two or three kids stop by and Dad would usually tell them we didn't celebrate the holiday and we didn't have any candy. I have never gone trick-or-treating (is that really a verb?) so I don't have a real emotional connection to the holiday. I don't have a costume or anything today but I am wearing my orange Illinois sweatshirt to show some solidarity with my friends, colleagues, and patrons at the library
