Neither a Single Trick or Treater nor Stripper for Halloween . . .

My neighborhood was totally dead except for the less than loud sound of pyrotechnics for less than 5 seconds. Called Gambling dancer and she was quiet and morose. Her son is getting dressed as a baby gangster, which given her family's history is no surprise. Her strategy for dealing with her gambling addiction is 1) taking a friend and 2) taking a max of $20. I didn't even know one could go to the casino with only $20. She plays the penny slots.
Halloween was always my favorite holiday. Chocolate and more chocolate. Always wanted to be one of the good houses where the candy was plentiful and good. Ended up just giving pennies if any children ever showed-----surprised me how excited some people got by a handful of pennies. A few years it was dollars. Another it was whole bags of candy. At the bookstore I'd be eating bags and bags of candy as a quotidian exercise throughout the year; most customers were way critical.
No stripper buddies this morning either. I'd call Gambling dancer, but she sleeps late and is a big zero as far as sexual services. On the bright side I did have to get up repeatedly to answer the door. :)
No temptation to go to the clubs even though I was pretty sure no children or strippers or others would come knocking.

Yes, even in good times seems like my neighborhood is dead on Halloween. And, the excess candy is what started me down the road to fatdom. Publix doesn't help with its sales----used to be real sales of 90% off already low prices and now it is a measly 50% off very expensive prices. I still buy. I can't resist the sale. A whole year I can buy almost no candy and then boom the day after Halloween the sales do me in. I wish the strippers had similar sales after Halloween.
I went to chiptole...they give out free burritos if you bring in a piece of tin foil and wrap it around her arm or finger. Supposed to be "dress as a burrito" but just having some tin foil wrapped around is sufficient.
