Jim and I were Halloween Scrooges on Friday night. Not in costume, in spirit. We went to the Mall and a movie to avoid the little trick-or-treaters. The movie theatre is in the mall so we killed time before the movie doing some shopping and having a bite to eat. We didn't really avoid the trick-or-treaters. I think they were all at the mall. The stores were giving out candy and the place was packed. It wasn't just little ones dressed up. They were all sizes and ages. Those bags looked pretty full by the end of the evening. Of course, all this reminds me of when Tim and Joe were little. It never failed, Halloween night in Minnesota was cold and raining or snowing. Have you ever tried putting on a costume over a snowsuit? A few times I gave out little boxes of raisins instead of candy. The parents appreciated it but Tim and Joe were mortified.
Oh, by the way, the movie we saw was "The Changeling" with Angelina Jolie. Very disturbing. I don't recommend it if you are gentle-natured.
