You're never truly prepared, are you? It all seems so unbelievable: a night when ghosts, goblins, witches and ghouls all come out, seeking that which they may devour. A night of satanic bliss; a cornucopia of evil that blankets the entire world for an evening of unmitigated terror.

You make arrangements for the dark festivities; ensure that you have the supplies you need to ride out the night and into the sheltering arms of daybreak. But it's never enough. Your nerves are frayed. Your muscles are tense...

Then a knock on the door...

"Trick or treat!"

And so it begins...

    Funny how the kids round our way don't like it when you reply "trick!"

    When you do that in our neighborhood, the "trick" is the kids egg your house in the middle of the night. Thanks, Neville and Lisa.

    We've been eating most of the candy ourselves and had to run out to get more...
    The trick- to buy the kind no one in your house eats.

    True, D.M. I've gained 3 pounds and seriously screwed up my blood sugar!

    They hunted in packs last night. We complete.y ran out of sweeties...and some accepted the apples or satsumas, while others were themselves frightened by the good they might do them, and declined. I think word then got round "keep away from those weirdos up the dark drive. Their stuff might be good for you!" Da-da daaaaaa!

    Good plan, Neville. Nothing scares kids more than eating healthy.
