Halloween Report!

When you're not only on a sugar-free diet, but almost four decades too old to go trick-or-treating, your Halloween options are limited.

But that doesn't mean they have to be dull!

Yesterday I enjoyed a six hour DVD marathon including TWO Stephen King movies ("IT" and "Christine") as well as the ever-popular "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!"

But even more fun was the bike ride I took right at sundown. I toured for miles around in every direction taking in some great Halloween displays. Some of our neighbors get more creative every year, adding not only decorations, but music and chilling sound effects. For years, I've enjoyed this one right on the corner of my own block:

But there is now another one just a couple of miles north of my house which has been expanding every year and which is now already so spooktacular that it has its own Facebook page at The Halloween House. It has even been written up in a local news article at Examiner.com. Here is just one picture.

However, the one picture just doesn't do this place justice. You really need to visit the Facebook page and check out the many other pictures and even videos that have been posted. Or better yet see the place in person like I did. Unfortunately, it's now all over for another year, but don't worry: next Halloween is only 364 days away!
