On Halloween proper, our dark lord graced us with temperatures in the 30s and snow. But that didn't stop this guy from saying "hi"!
As always, I tried to dress as something that, while handing out candy to small children, forced me to say "I'm just a man with face paint on. Now who in the afterworld would you like to speak with?" This year's choice was an ode to voodoo intermediary Papa Legba.
Our annual Halloween party had to be postponed from the Saturday before Halloween to this past Saturday, thanks to some jerk parents in Lollipop's class who sent their kid to school with COVID, thus infecting Lollipop. But through confining Lollipop to her room and masking, the rest of us managed to avoid getting the 'rona.
The theme of our Halloween party this year was puns and wordplay, so people were encouraged, if not required, to wear a costume that was a play on words (like Daughter, who wore a Barbie shirt with plastic shrimp sewed to it, for Shrimp on the Barbie) or before-and-after (like my suggestion that no one went with, which was wearing an 1800s double-billed detective hat, a Detroit Tigers 19 jersey, carrying around a primitive telephone, and walking around singing "Poison" and "Do Me" -- better known as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Alexander Graham Bell Biv DeVoe). You get the picture. People took their assignment with vigor and creativity.
There's no use trying to narrow it down, so I'm just going to show you everyone I managed to get a photo of. Some are blurry, which is a direct reflection on my state of being at the time and the fact that I have an old phone. To the extent any explanation is needed or you can't see part of the costume, I'll note that. These are in alphabetical order.
