Glad I Didn't Have These Kinds Of Trick Or Treaters
I had a fairly uneventful Halloween this year (minus my garbage can getting knocked over by the wind, spreading five bags worth of garbage all over my driveway). Only one person called me on my pickled asparagus, and I had just walked in the door from work (I worked until 6:30 that night) and hadn't a chance to get it ready (David, the asparagus will be on your doorstep by the end of the week). Otherwise, my brother in law just gave out candy to the kids until about 6:15 or so, we turned off the lights outside, and called it a night. Nothing really exciting.

This year we had a 200% increase of trick-or-treaters: some 80 to 100 kids must have come by, from all over town!

Paul said on 11/03/05 @ 03:15 PM: Why, because I'm utterly bored, dear Amy!
