Happy Halloween

I made a terrible mistake, I scheduled my major national conference for Halloween and the day after this year.  I have caught more grief from adults, adults without children, who don't want to be at a conference on Halloween than I could ever have imagined.  Halloween is kind of a non-event for me.  I really don't pay much attention to it.  I had a job interview once on Halloween, I thought that explained the hat of one of my soon to be colleagues was wearing (little did I know it was her everyday hat.)  For this year, I am supplying about  40 pounds of candy, for the 230 people expected at the conference.  

Do your own thing, observe, celebrate or ignore,  have a fun day.

  1. Halloween is staggeringly popular among both kids and adults. Maybe even more among adults than kids these days. I'm not surprised you're taking heat for your conference scheduling.

  2. Hallowe'en for me is bigger than Christmas. I just love the whole feeling of the day and a costume party is always fun. I just got in and had a time getting the make up and nails off. Tonight, I have the tricks and treaters coming...…

    And I wonder where on earth you took the above picture!?!?!?!? hmmmmmmmm

    1. Regarding the photo, if that place isn’t haunted, no place in that town is.

  3. I wouldn’t have given Halloween a second thought either when I was working. Halloween dinner at Mesón Salvador tonight. Other than that, I bought goodies for my pal Luke whose American mother is bringing him to our house... and our house alone... for trick or treat.
