To my neighbors:

I apologize if you knocked on our door on Friday, hoping for candy and no one answered the door. We hadn’t bought any candy and weren’t really in the mood to deal with halloween. So after Anne picked me up at work, we circled the neighborhood a few times to see how much activity there was. There were a lot of kids roaming around, so we decided to go out to eat.

The problem was I wasn’t feeling that great, and we couldn’t decide where to eat, so we just ended up driving around for a while until we just decided to go back to work and hide out there for a while. I never do get very many opportunities to take advantage of the air hockey or pool tables anyway. I’m happy to say both matches were a trouncing! (In my favor, of course.) After hanging around a bit more, we thought it would be safe to return home for dinner at 9.

The coast was clear when we got home. The cat sure was freaked out though – he yelled at us, seemly saying “There were all these people coming to the door and ringing the doorbell and I was really scared!”

Now that we’ve successfully whimped out of Halloween, my favorite part of is now here – the post-holiday discount candy. We picked up some candy corn for ourselves this weekend. Yum.
