Happy Halloween
31oct2008: I am sitting on the porch, waiting for the costumed monsters, faeries, and superheroes to demand their candy bounty.
This year we have two jack-o-lanterns. One is fashioned from a pumpkin we grew in our yard that didn't quite ripen; it's like we put a candle in a giant zucchini. The other is this squat little guy with bugged out eyes. Both were carved on Tuesday at a group pumpkin carving. In the interim, the underripe one has made a serious effort to start rotting.
