To our dismay, this year Halloween turnout was the lowest since we've lived in our new neighborhood and since we began to take records. This in spite of falling on a Saturday night when all parents had plenty of time to take their little ones out into the streets. At 9:00 pm, the visits stopped, we turned off all the lights, set aside the excess goodies and called it an evening. Let's just hope we'll see a rebound in 2010, along with the economy!

Halloween: A downtrend...
It's always with great anticipation that we get ready for Halloween night. While some neighbors conspicuously make sure they're not home or out of town for the occasion, we always make a point to welcome all “trick or treaters.” This year we went so far as to proposing a choice of treats between a (processed) Cliff Bar and a (natural) banana. I also made the extra effort of sporting my trademark béret and at 6:56 pm the first group showed up.
