We didn’t go for a walk this weekend. Instead we hung out with friends and shot the breeze. I suppose you could say I walked on Friday morning since I had business on campus and walked about a half mile between my car, my professor’s office and back to the car. Campus is really empty before 8am, but the weather was crisp and breezy so the walk was very refreshing.
The weather changed first out there and so I knew by the time I got home later in the day that we’d be experiencing a real fall day. As it turned out, it snowed out in the western part of the state on Friday night/Saturday morning. I’m not sorry I missed that. Really–snow in October is just not a good thing.
The better-half is out with his friends this evening. They get together in a small town not far from home to hand out candy and see the droves of kids. Someone in town runs a hay ride to haul kids around. Most of the kids are very cute and having a great time. There’s a small group of teens who always seem to show up just as the candy is running out and it’s starting to get cold and miserable. I really don’t understand the idea of half-assing a costume to mooch candy. Get off my lawn!
I bought an 8-pack of Butterfingers should anyone brave the trip to our house. I am very confident that we’ll have candy bars tomorrow. I probably won’t even crack open the cellophane tonight. I will crack open a bad sci-fi or horror movie. I don’t watch horror like the Saw franchise, but I’m hoping Turner Classic or AMC has something on tonight along the lines of Gaslight or The House on Haunted Hill. Old school scary works for me.
No kids, but an Alfred Hitchcock Hour marathon was on. Excellent television.
