Happy Halloween

If not all, then for most of the last 34 Halloweens I've dressed up, at the least with a mask, and greeted the local gremlins at our door; passing out treats and BOOs. We've seen generations grow up and have begun to see children of the first children to grace our stoop, even a few grand kids. It's always a fun occasion for both sides of the door, for the kids all look forward to seeing what Mr. rel will look like this year. And we pass out the "GOOD STUFF.

This year the tradition baton will pass from Main St. Mo'town to Ward Road, Niagara Falls. We will depart soon to meet in person our newest grand daughter and partake of the Halloween, trick or treat, tradition at her home with her parents for their first Halloween in their first house with their first child.

These Mountebanks at one end of their stage place their trunke, which is replenished with a world of new-fangled trumperies… the principal Mountebanke opens his trunk and sets abroad his wares, [then] makes an oration to the audience of almost an hour. Wherein he doth most hyberbolically extol the virtue of his drugs and confections…though many of them are very counterfeit and false. They would give their tales with such admirable volubility and plausible grace that they did often strike great admiration into strangers that never heard them before.

Happy Halloween to all!
Trick or Treat?
