Will be helping the neighborhood children get fatter.

We get a lot of trick and treaters. Next to a snowstorm, Halloween is the friendliest, most neighborly night of the year in this zip code. It's fun to sit on the steps and see the little kids and their parents having a harmless good time.

Porch light's out at 9:00p when the too-old kids start coming around with their school packs open and no costume.

My dog has a glitzy pumpkin collar for the occasion.

My Halloween candy supply is oldies but goodies: Milky Way, Three Musketeers, York Peppermint Patties, Tootsie Rolls, Milk Duds.

Dangerous stuff to have around the house for long.

Resistance is futile.
