HALLOWEEN!

Hi folks,

Well, here it is... Halloween again. I've got my treats all lined up for the little tykes. Shots of expresso and a brand-spanking new cocker spaniel puppy for each of  'em! It's what I always give and the odd thing is I never seem to get the same kids back each year. It's always a new bunch. Go figure...

And, I can't wait until my favorite trick or treaters show up. I LOVE these costumes! It really captures the spirit of the holiday in a way that overused witches and zombies can't. Last year I gave this zany pair a puppy and shot of expresso and they came back through for seconds! My kind of partiers!

FAYETTEVILLE, NC PUBLIC LIBRARY... AND HALLOWEEN

Hi folks,

Well, in a few hours, I'm going to climb onto a plane and wing my way east to Fayetteville, NC. I'm really excited about this. I've been invited to speak at the Cumberland Public Library and they've promised me the best barbecue in the country! I'll also get to see a couple of my students and colleagues from my online novel-writing class--Mary Edelson and Jeff Meyer--can't wait!

And, almost as good, I get to skip Halloween. Just not my favorite holiday... But, I have prepared treats for the neighborhood kiddies. This year I've opted for triple shots of expresso and a brand-new puppy to give to each of the tykes. I will miss my favorite trick-or-treaters--these guys...

(Can't wait to see what the PC contingent has to say about this...)

See ya in the funny papers!

Blue skies,
Les
