Tomorrow is Halloween, so I guess today is All Hallows' Eve Eve. Our
preparations were complete so long ago, I'm not sure they're still complete. By
that I mean that we've been doing more than a little raiding of the candy supply
we picked up weeks back. With the festivities almost upon us, I'm going to have
to do an inventory and decide if I need to make a run to the store to replenish
the dent we put in our stash. Don't judge us. Yes, we're adults, but c'mon, it's
Halloween!
