Trick or Treat

Yes, tomorrow is All Hallow's eve, and the kids will be around and about, trying to get at my candy pile. All I can say is that they're going to have to earn it by enduring a few scares on the way to the doorbell.

I recall a few years back when I heard one kid out in the street say, "I'm not going there -- it's way too scary." Sigh -- it brings a tear to the eye.

That said though, there's still lots of stuff to get done before tomorrow night:

• Finish Ronan's helicopter costume


• Pop over to Value Village to see if there's anything I can use for Julie's costume


• Carve the pumpkin appropriately


• Hang the outdoor decorations


• Plug in the eerie Halloween lights (which also happen to double as my Christmas lights -- hey, I'm a multi-tasker, what can I say?)


• Watch at least one scary movie


• Put out the Halloween treats

And I still have to finish some major release work for my day-time job. Better stop blogging and get busy!

Quick update

Just a brief note that I will once again be regularly updating this blog (and my technology blog) on a much more regular basis starting this Monday (the 29th). Before, I had a regular reminder to myself to post, but I let it expire, and never got around to renewing that notification. Yeah, I know, pretty sad, but in the jet-setting, 24/7 lifestyle I lead, I can't always keep track of everything.

I am going to aim for more shorter entries, rather than longer entries that tend to deflect my interest from writing these blog entries.

See you tomorrow!
