We've had quite a few already and it's still very early.  Really cute costumes, but it's very easy to figure out what's the thing these days - lots of vampires.

Jnae our generator is just a little gasoline run one with heavy duty power cord running throughthe window to plug inthe fridge  one lamp and the TV

If we did that we would let in a lot of cold air.  Still, it is something to consider.

There is a way to install a connection thru the wall of the house and the outside.  Then you just plug the generator into the outside of the connecter and the power cord to the inside to plug in your applicances.  This is probably not the time of year to install it, but you might consider it for next winter.

I'm not sure that would work for us, too many walls.  And I wouldn't want the generator sitting in the front of the house.

I also opened the gate so that is helpful to let folks know they can come up to the house.

An open gate is very important.  I wouldn't go through a closed on unless it was very obvious kids are going to the door, or there was ghost music playing or something more enticing than lights.

That's great.

As I've watched the Hurricane Sandy coverage, I've wondered about Ocean Grove, NJ, the delightful shore town where Richard, Rob, and I spent a week in 1999.  Tonight I found a blog with lots of information and pictures:

Blogfinger: A Digital Breeze from the Jersey Shore

I expected it to look worse...

Not too bad compared to other places.

The worst thing for me if there was no power would be I have a ton of food in my freezer.

Eat the ice cream first

ALWAYS!!!!

'night

[TCB]

When i came home i saw someone driving kids around?? Who does that on a nice night. And it was 9pm. Who goes out that late?

Who goes out that late?  Sometimes parents who have to work until 8:00 p.m., but still want to share a few traditions with their kids before they outgrow them.  I knew several people who had kids but didn't have the freedom to get off work at five o'clock.

I quickly had to replace four of the light bulbs in the lamps at the front of the house and by the front door - it's really bright out there now.  No Halloween decorations, though, save for myself.

No photos of you as Gypsy Rose Lee?

Doesn't quite seem as busy as last year, although we've had many kids so far.  I've probably gone through two of the six bags I bought.

[bk]

But, it's still early.

[TCB]

Right now i am eating a candy apple that my niece's got from their neighbor. I can't believe anyone would give a candy apple? But i guess this lady would know most of the kids coming to her (she lives 3 doors down from my nieces).

I love candy apples. But oddly this one is not that sweet. I've never tried one that was caramel or that sweet red stuff. I"m still eating it.

I guess I am confused, Jennifer.  If this isn't a caramel apple or a red candy one; then what kind of candy apple is it that you are eating?

Have you never been to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory?

No, I have never heard of it.

I was thinking more of the generator being in the back of the house.

Maybe you can put dishes of the leftover candy on the tables at the show Sunday night?

Well, certainly my cast can partake at tomorrow's rehearsal and Saturday's run-through.  I am getting a lot of exercise going back and forth from the computer to the front door.

In fact, if you put the generator in the front of the house and then built a small shed around it that matched the outside of your house; it might look very nice.

RIP Tabby Tom, the feral cat who lived in my backyard since 1999.

Oh, so sorry to see this DR Laura

[Cillaliz]

Considering feral cats usually only live a few years, he was pretty lucky.

He had you.  That's really lucky

I just got an e-mail with the subject line, "Wake Up & Save On Your Favorite Light Roasts!"  I finally figured out that it was talking about coffee.  I was trying to figure out how you managed to have light roast beef.

LOL, I read it as roast beef too!

You could put some sort of foam or towels to fill the gap in the window and keep the cold out

Bryan has been without power the last few days.  He stocked up on candles and his house smells of Autumn and pumpkin pie.  He said it isn't too bad except it's getting very cold inside the apartment.  He is listening to records and catching up on reading while enjoying the candlelight.

If Bryan says it is getting cold it must be very cold to the average person.

I wonder if there has been a run on Snuggies

[Cillaliz]

I hate that i can't take a picture of myself. I hate the way most people take pictures. So not even sure if i got one of my costume. I don't understand why people can't look in the camera shot to see if the picture is any good before snapping.

I think i can got some decent shots outside.

I take them in the mirror sometimes, you just have to hold the camera without looking in it.  It takes a few tries to get the camera just right

Oh good, that makes me feel better.

LOL!  I was thinking that Snuggies were disposable diapers.

Well, I'm going to watch Lilly Ledbetter on The Colbert Report and then go to bed - 'night!

[Cillaliz]

I am having such a hard time trying to find a cat sitter.  And I worry about what happens if there is a snow storm when I'm gone.  With Sharon I didn't worry, but I don't know with other people.  So I'm going to go out to http://www.dogwoodpethotel.com/index.html and check out their cat wing.   I may be able to have all three cats stay in the same suite.  There is a live in caretaker so if there is a storm someone is there to care for the animals.  It's worth checking out.  It seems to be more dog oriented, but they have a cat wing, so I'm thinking this may not be bad.

the vixter is going to a hous eparty at a house with power

The Vixter is very smart.

Almost forgot...Happy Halloween!

This is wonderful.

What a fun time we had - first rehearsing at Casa Graae with fun folks like Jason, Susanne Blakeslee, Liz Larsen, John Randall and Diane someone, and Heather Lee.  Then we went over to the retirement home and did the little show.  The audience there is always fun - they're very appreciative of Jason and they just had a grand time.  Our duet went wonderfully, and everyone did a great job.  It was just forty minutes, then we went to Mo's for some food.  Now I'm home awaiting the arrival of the trick or treaters.

I interviewed Liz years ago when she was doing "Romance/Romance" at the Cohoes Music Hall. Then she got to do the TV version (either that or she did it before and it didn't air until after Cohoes). Always thought she was wonderful. And her appearances on BK's Varese Sarabande albums, especially "Ragtime Romeo," were always welcome.

My nieces went with my 3 year old niece's best friend.

Watching 2 three year olds is embarrassing. The boy kept asking for money (my other niece was collecting for the children's hospital). And my niece (3) kept asking for Smarties and asking for more candy. I kept having to say I was sorry.

I ask people for money all the time. They never give me any. But they do seem to move away quickly.
