Halloween Fast Approaching

Oh okay let's give the political rhetoric a rest maybe just for a little while and go with something more important: Halloween! Halloween has always been my favorite holiday (is it technically considered a holiday?) and I have fond memories of past Halloweens here in Tahoe. When I first came to the Lake I dressed as a cow in complete head-to-toe cow attire but would never wear it again on stage.Tough to make a point when you're a cow delivering the material. The following four years it was Ozzy Osbourne which I really got into voice and all but after so many years it was time to hang that costume up. When as a pirate for the very first time and enjoyed that one a lot complete with a dead parrot on the shoulder. Last year was really fun as Nancy suggested I dress as the character, Edna from the movie, "Hairspray." It's the role John Travolta played in the remake based on the John Waters original. Not sure yet what I'll be going as for this year. I was going to dress in a leotard and go as a stimulus check but I still haven't decided. Will probably find something the last minute that's what usually happens. I thought about also wearing a cardboard box with a roof on it and windows and go as a fixer upper or an AIG CEO and ask for a bailout while throwing another lavish, all expense paid retreat for insurance executives. Just looking forward to the Halloween parties and also to have an excuse to just hang with other costume-minded individuals. Still, what with the dogs and all would hate to leave them with no one home maybe it'll be a stay at home Halloween. It's not like we get a lot of Trick or Treaters though but we do get a lot of coyotes. Maybe that's what I'll go as.......a big ass coyote or a bear! Yeah, a bear I think but living here might get mistaken for the real thing. all I know is that Halloween is a blast and also an excuse too for girls to dress up as hookers or French maids and not get arrested for it. On the Nevada side it might be tough to find out who was in costume or who might be actually working you know? I wonder what some politicians will go as for Halloween? A subpoena? I don't know which is scarier actually Halloween and what some folks will be wearing that day or the presidential election and what the outcome might be. Oh, I thought this was a creative use of pumpkin carving.
