Halloween just ain’t what it used to be. It’d be great to have the kind of time I used to have to put together a nice elaborate costume, but that just isn’t going to happen these days.
The good news is that we only live a couple blocks from one of the greatest stores ever: Walgreens. That place has everything. For about $8 I walked out of there yesterday with a hat with fake hair attached and a rubber mask depicting some dead biker. The ensemble was a big hit with Ava, who didn’t appear to be scared of it at all. There were a couple kids at the trick-or-treat function at our office yesterday, however, who were downright terrified of it. Must be the cigarette. We’ll see how the kids who come to the door on Monday take to it, if we get any kids at the door.
