Hey, all. I don’t log on much these days, but I thought the Dope might appreciate this:
I had planned to have a costume for taking the boys out trick-or-treating, but with one thing and another, I just couldn’t get it together. Then, at the very last minute, literally on my way to pick up the older kiddo from school, inspiration struck. I stopped to pick up a magazine at the grocery store, and I already had the clothes and duct tape, and I was set. When anyone asked what my costume was, I said, “Well, I had a great costume planned, but I ran out of time…”
And I got tons of groans and laughs and it was awesome. But the best part was the one guy who asked me, and I said my spiel and did the pose, and he chuckled, smiled, nodded. And then, he added sympathetically, “Yes, it’s hard.”
For a fraction of a second, I considered trying to explain, and then, just smiled and wished him a Happy Halloween.
