My wife and I are off to a grownup Halloween party at a neighbor’s house tonight. I'm going as a pirate and she is a gypsy/fortune teller (tarot cards in hand) I hope the party is void of smokers cause this will be a trigger night for sure. I have been starving myself all day so I can pig out tonight (lots of munches) Everyone is bringing an appetizer
Mexican Stuffed Pizza is our contribution. I bought the super spicy chili and my wife can't eat it :)
Depending on how many of the 12 beers I bought end up in my gut, I may or may not attend the all new, Sunday morning Adult Tai Kwan Do (doe?) class at the Y. I may even walk there and back (15KM). I'm also thinking about the Jujitsu and judo classes. Can you say Jackie Chan? :)

I can't get over how the quality of Halloween candy has improved since I was a little trick or treater.
My kids got jumbo sized chocolate bars, dolls, toys, stickers and even a book!
I can remember getting the sandwich bag full of home made popcorn, the apple, and the lone hard candy.
When I was a kid, if someone was giving out mini chocolate bars, word spread like wildfire and they were cleaned out in no time.
I also find the unwritten Halloween rule that you can only go to each house once, very interesting. Why not just canvas your own street over and over again? Would someone actually say no to a 4 year old princess when she shows up a second time for a 5 cent piece of candy?
TIP for SAD's - November 1st is a great time to get your dress up costumes for the kids at next to nothing, retailers are dying to get rid of the ghostly refuse to make way for the next commercial windfall - Christmas.

Weights (weights suck)
30 Minute swim (to ABBA no less blaring on the pool speakers while the manatee performed swimmersize)

I've hidden the candy from the kids so they don't eat it all at once, the question is "WHO IS GOING TO HIDE IT FROM ME?"
