All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I'm going as an overly protective dad ready to punch the day lights out of any would be child predators.

It was a great Halloween. The rain lifted right as the kids hit and held off for most of the evening. It was a fun evening.

It is absolutely gorgeous out here. Perfect night to sit outside and watch the kids run around and goof off.  If only our end of the street was a little busier....
Still, all in all it's a perfect night to be outside

We're all going to a halloween-themed gala tomorrow night.  I'm dressing as a pirate (if you knew me, you would know how terrible unpredictable that is), and the Cap'n is dressing as "The Least Interesting Man in the World" (his own concept, and about as far from his actual real-life self as imaginable).  I'll post pictures, at least of me.  Posting pictures of the husband could get me killed.  Or worse.

I'm dressed as a career civil servant with no realistic expectation, or ambition towards advancement.


LMFAO..... good one!
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Ha! "Killed or worse"

"Expelled" is the general response.

Isn't this how you normally dress?


Had 70+ Trick-or-Treaters show up at the parents house, which is a pretty good number compared to previous years.

The boots I hadn't worn since '07, and at this point, the goggles are more for costume than operational use.  But everything else in there is stuff I have on hand for normal wear / use.

Led MiniGus 1 and 2 through the rain with about 100 of their closest friends to raid the village like vikings. I of course get a nice cut of the candy for my efforts.

Least Interesting Man in the World is the best costume idea I've heard of so far!

well done sir - is that at the Blade Residence?

One wall of it, yes.

For some reason my eyes look bloodshot. But the natural light was better than the flash so I went with this. Weird.

And this is why you are our King.

It was a good night, cool (but not too cool) and no rain.  Lots of kids out & about. 40Jr. took-in a good haul and a cute little girl (couple of doors down, same age as him) made up a special loot bag of candy just for him!!
Any time is a good time for pie.

The trick of producing bloodshot eyes on cameras when they really aren't has been the secret of Kings for millennia.

I'm jealous. I've never led 100 kids to raid anything like Vikings, though I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.
