Halloween 2022 - The Day After

Tuesday, November 1, 2022


Guess we're ready to move on to the next holiday. Saw these guys while walking home from school today. 

Another beautiful day. Warmer than yesterday and still looking at 76 for tomorrow. 

Halloween 2022 - Dale's Home

Monday, October 31, 2022



After my cigar I picked up Dale and we decided to go out for dinner and NOT pass out candy. He was tired from a long trip and I was tired from teaching on Halloween (decent day, just exhausting). 

We went to Busters on 28th. The houses which share the block with Buster's always do it up big for Halloween. The above picture doesn't show well the number of houses that participate. You can tell the people living there really enjoy passing out candy. 

Halloween 2022 - Halloween Cigar Part 2: Lighting Up

Monday, October 31, 2022

After lighting up I sat out back with a little vodka.




Oliva cigars are one of my newer favorites. 

Halloween 2022 - Halloween Cigar Part 1: Beautiful Weather

Monday, October 31, 2022

Raced home from school so I could squeeze in a cigar before having to pick Dale up at the light rail station on Hiawatha. He's returning from his trip out to Arizona to help his parents move. 

It's incredibly nice out and it's supposed to get up to 76 on Wednesday. 

The unseasonably warm weather is a bit spooky but I'm still gonna enjoy it. 





Halloween 2022 - Halloween Glasses

Monday, October 31, 2022

Other teachers on my team planned on dressing up today. I wasn't into it but wore my pumpkin glasses so as not to be complete party pooper. 

Halloween Approacheth 2022 - Halloween Eve

Sunday, October 30, 2022



Picked up fixings for Bloody Mary's and had a couple. 



Caught the 1951 short film Return to Glennascaul with Orson Wells. It was a fun and spooky take on the oft-used vanishing hitch-hiker storyline. Only 23 minutes long, it was nominated for an Oscar for Best Short Subject.

It's always nice to have Sylvester around as company but especially so when Dale is gone. 




Mike texted me some pictures of Halloween tchotchkes. Not sure if they're Charisse's or if he's at someone else's house. 

Halloween Approacheth 2022 - Unseasonably Warm

Saturday, October 29, 2022

Got some yard work done and now trying to relax and enjoy this unseasonably beautiful weather. The weather for Halloween itself is supposed to be nice enough for kids to not to have to wear jackets while trick or treating.
