Here in Crazeysburg, we actually have trick-or-treaters coming out on Halloween!!
In the other nearby towns, trick-or-treat already happened on Thursday night. I guess because it frees everyone up to go to parties on Halloween — or church, if, you know, you’re Satanic or something…
Anyway!!
This is only the 2nd year that our village has had door-to-door trick-or-treaters. The kids used to dress up and then all just meet down by the little Town Hall area and get candy there, and play games, etc.
I really, really love seeing the kids all dressed up, going door-to-door!! They have such a good time. I have no clue if I bought enough candy, but we’ll find out!!
My front door doesn’t actually work, so I decorate the area directly in front of the front door and set a big bowl of candy there, and some lit lanterns, so they can help themselves. And I just sit in the family room and sort of happily watch them while sort of watching TV, too.
This is what I noticed last year: the kids are incredibly polite. They only take one piece of candy, each, and then move on to the next house. Even though it’s a big bowl of FREE candy!! Yay!! But all of them were just really polite.

Okay!
For some reason, I don’t have much today.
But I do have this!
Someone on Facebook was kind enough to give us 3 for the price of ONE!! Yay!!
Keith!! Smoking!!

Oh! And I found out yesterday, that me and my co-workers will be going to THIS in early December!
At the Licking County Players Theater!! “Miracle on 34th Street”!! I think it’s a musical, but I’m not sure. Either way, it’s a Christmas miracle and I can’t wait!!
************
Okay.
I found out about this documentary on Facebook yesterday. I haven’t had time to watch the whole thing yet, but here it is!
From Melbourne’s The Culture Archivist:
The wild Melbourne world that created Nick Cave (36 mins):

And speaking of Nick Cave…
Nick Cave Official and The Red Hand Files posted this on Instagram yesterday!!
Something important is going to be announced on Friday, November 6th!!
I think common sense tells us, Nick Cave is going to announce that he’s started smoking again!!! Yay!!!
But, maybe — it’ll be something like a book coming out, with a collection of the greatest Red Hand Files??
Or maybe — Nick is taking the Red Hand Files on tour???!!! And people can ask him questions again, like they did during that fantastic In Conversation tour he did all over the world about 7 years ago??
Obviously, I don’t know but we will find out on Friday!!
*************
And here’s a couple from Warren Ellis, on tour right now with the Dirty Three!!
And I loved the expressions on everyone’s faces here!!! In Oslo, last night–
And here’s this, because I immediately thought of it!! Paul Simon’s classic “Mother & Child Reunion”, from 1971!!
***********
Okay.
And here’s this!!
From Facebook!!
Beautiful!!
**********
And that’s all I’ve got for now!
I’ll be heading out to the store here soon. We are only open for 3 hours on Saturdays, so I’ll probably be right back home before I know it. Plus, I’ll be spending those 3 hours today working with my favorite Q-following girlfriend! So I’m guessing those 3 hours will fly…
We shall see.
However, this means that I don’t get to join in on the live Zoom with James Tabor and the Tabor Research Group today. It’s the first live Zoom since our conference last month in North Carolina. Plus, James will be joining us from Israel, where he is currently staying with Simcha Jacobovici –another one of my favorite people!! — at Simcha’s house.
I will have to watch the replay, but I wish I could be there, live.
But tomorrow!! It’s my favorite day of the year — we turn those clocks back one hour, yay!! And I get one hour of my fleeting life back!!
Meanwhile.
Enjoy your Saturday (and Halloween, if you celebrate it) wherever you are in the world, gang.
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!
