Have you decorated yet? I don’t do much decorating for Halloween anymore. Just some scattered reminders that it’s October again. I’ll have my Jack O Lanterns, a few evil-eye stickers, and sometimes a hanging scarecrow I make out of dried leaves and old clothes. Not the scariest looking thing in the world, sure. Unless, that [...]

October Eve and Halloween Radio
Happy October Eve! Remember that old Halloween Radio post I mentioned a while back? Remember how I said I still get hits on that particular post?

Also, I’m feeling guilty about skipping [...]
The Mysterious Case of the Swollen Lymph Nodes.

Good thing there’s Twitter.
I almost named this post, “Thank God for Twitter,” and immediately scrapped it. I wouldn’t want to imply that I think Twitter is heavenly.
