I am back. I did not post during my medical adventure because I just didn't have the energy, much less anything to say. I finished only 2 books during the sick time. Christopher Hitchens' "God Is Not great: How Religion Poisons Everything" and "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls, a memoir. I must be feeling better, though, because I have an intense interest in journo Jeremy Scahill's book "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army" ... a not-so-new book called "The Wild Trees" ... and the novelist William Boyd. I'm also behind on magazines and The New York Times. All this means I feel better. If the bloggers in Myrtle Beach hold a convention, I will go. --- Harriet

Welcome back. That's good news that you're feeling more chipper (more chip/chippier?).
What did you do for Halloween? Did you turn off all the lights and sit huddled in the dark, flinching as an army of kids camped on your doorstep, pressing the bell and slapping on the door?
Or were you feeling chippy enough to go to the door and hand out popcorn balls and candy bars?
Hopefully you were feeling good and went out to dinner and missed all the commotion.
That's what I did.

Chuck thanks. Popcorn balls, OMG, I totally di d not have the energy for little ghosts and goblins. I got about 12 of them (usually I get none!) and I had forgotten to even get any candy. So I gave them Peppermint Patties which they were cool with. I used to like Halloween and dress up and go out and party. But for some reason (age?) I don't like it much anymore.
