Today's oldest trick-or-treater: about 40. In costume (great kilt, broadsword, boots) and with his toddler kids
Cutest: toddler-in-arms dressed as a bunny. "Are you a fierce bunny?" She shyly hid her face away. But when she and her grownup got back to the sidewalk, we heard her roar.
Runner-up: Little girl dressed as Piglet. Little brother lion behind her...holding Piglet's head.

After handing out the candy to the little monsters, ohari and I needed to get ready quickly to go to Jen's party. I was having a hard time thinking of a costume, but I said, "I've been considering piracy." Went upstairs, and ransacked the closet. First I got out a pair of burgundy corduroy pajama pants & put them on. Need stripy socks. Well, I'm already wearing stripy socks. They happen to be rainbow. Tie my pant legs up with random scarves from my vast collection. Steal a kilt shirt from Chris. Suede vest. Rainbow inkle belt from the three I made a few years ago. Pink-and-skulls do-rag.

I'm swishbuckling!

How was the party?

[semperfiona]

It was good. Quiet, not raucous. A few folks sitting around talking and drinking a little bit. She was glad we came.

Were you glad you went?

[semperfiona]

Yeah, I was.

Good to hear that.

Gay piracy. It's FAB-u-lous! And you can always accessorize with the coin you steal from the ships you loot.

I hope there will be pictures.
