Happy Halloween!

We enjoyed our last Halloween party here last Saturday evening. It was sort of sad, because we said good-bye to few people that we know we might never see again. Last year, we were the last people out the door...we closed that party down! And I am glad that we did, in retrospect.

The doors closed on our business for the season--and for us, forever--on Sunday. Now we're just going through crap and getting things boxed up and thrown away. I packed a box today chock full of stuff. Being a cardboard box, it ripped on me, so I had to unpack it and repack it. In this process, I ended up throwing out so much more stuff. Perhaps I'll continue to do that...box stuff...unbox it...throw more stuff away...rebox. It seemed to work well.

In any case, this photo is me at the big party on Saturday. My only wish is that I could keep my friend's awesome tooled-leather gun belt. That piece made the costume and it is bad-ass in every way, including bullet holsters around the back of the belt. I am considering re-doing this costume for Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Time will tell. I did not actually carry any bullets or fire arms in the belt, if readers are wondering.
