Last Saturday performance vibes for DR GEORGE & Co.

[singdaw]

What a day,
What a day,
For an auto-da-fé!

[Freddie]

What a day,
What a day,
For an auto-da-fé!

I suspect that's a song that would never get on a Broadway stage if it were first written today!

[singdaw]

I suspect you're right, DR Freddie.

Important envelope vibes for MR BK.

DITTO!

The Indiana FSSA has just announced that it will discontinue Child Care Vouchers in January, 2026.

There is no money.

[Jrand75]

I started to watch the latest SUPERMAN movie....last about ten minutes.

[Jrand75]

Ugh I have seen both of THE BAD SEED remakes that MR BK mentions in the notes....I feel pretty much the same way about them that he does.

Last Saturday performance vibes for DR GEORGE & Co.

Double vibes.

What a day,
What a day,
For an auto-da-fé!

Only if it’s directed toward the government.

From DR Rodzinski:

My daughter was one of 8 kids dressed as her character at the school.

I should watch a clip from the show.

[Jane]

Rodzinski, I am glad the rain waited until your evening was done.

[Jane]

From DR Laura:

Teens are fine with me.

I always felt the same way, and I was once one of those teens.

[Jane]

From Laura:

Someone on another street gave out onions as a trick. The kids were excited to have a potato to go with it.

This makes me laugh, and I think it is great that they were excited about patatoes and onions

[Jane]

Last night we watched Eleanor the Great on the reccomendation of a friend who said have Kleenix handy.  We never needed Kleenix, and we never finished watching the movie.

Another 3-fer! Who'da thunk it?

Wow, congratulations!

TOD:  (I'm sure I'll think of more later)
Heaven Can Wait
The Fly
Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Yes to the first two.  I don't remember the third though I am sure we watched it.

[Jane]

We've (meaning I) have decided to downsize Halloween at home. It was so slow last night. We'll concentrate on the church function instead. I'll still put out candy, but I'll probably just put out a big bowl and leave it at that.

Sounds like a good plan.

[Jane]

My DH was having trouble getting the shade frame with orange lights folded back up. Do you think he destroyed it on purpose?

[Jane]

I'm just kinda sad to see the fun traditions disappearing.

I understand how you feel.  I used to love Halloween and felt bad when we no longer got Trick or Treaters.

[Jane]

Last night, the family who now lives in my childhood home came by. On purpose. I've met the parents while out walking. But I hadn't met the kids. They are so sweet. I'm glad a family that loves that house owns it now.

This post is heartwarming.

[Jane]

And still some folks walked on by.....so there!

Hopefully they still appreciated your waving in your monkey suit.

I just thought about this:

I haven't personally had trick-or-treaters since... oh my god...

Since I lived at home with my family? i.e., since high school?

After that, it was college dorms and subsequent rooms/apartments while at school, apartment complexes in L.A. and Chicago, the condo in L.A., the first apartment complex in Danbury, a friend's guest cottage, and then this house in that same neighborhood which, due to its semi-rural pedestrian-unfriendly nature, simply doesn't get trick-or-treaters. Have I forgotten anything?

For a while, we kept plenty of Halloween candy for "just in case", but "just in case" literally does not happen in this part of town. We've been to, and have thrown ourselves, several great parties over the years, and we always love the season in general. But trick-or-treating hasn't been part of my life - practically speaking - almost since I was doing it myself.

[Rodzinski]

There are no trick or treaters in my town. The houses are too spread out. Though some mystery person left is a carved jack-o-lantern a few nights ago.

[Rodzinski]

People go to the Canadian town next door. But what’s happened there is what I suspect has happened to a lot of towns. A particular area of town gets known for being the best, so all the kids descend on it. Other neighborhoods, seeing fewer kids, have fewer participants, so kids stop going there.

We met up with a few school families in one neighborhood near the kids’ school which is sort of a happy medium. Maybe every other house welcomes trick or treaters.

[Rodzinski]

As for the people who live in the one popular neighborhood, they get used to spending several hundred dollars on candy.

[Freddie]

I wonder if anyone dressed up in black tie throwing potatoes and staplers, and went Trick or Treating as a once-exiled Broadway producer now warmly embraced and welcomed back to commercial Broadway with open arms.

Maybe it's time to get off of page 2.
