A Halloween reflection

It's okay again once you enter your second childhood.

Of course, I went straight from my first to my second with no gap in between.

We have to grow older, we don't have to grow up! You are only as old as you feel.

Some days, I'm really really OLD!

No, I'm not talking about the parents or teens that accompany the little kids and sometimes get into the spirit and go along in their own costumes. I'm talking about the ones that are way past celebrating Halloween and look at it as free-candy-give-away-day and don't make any effort at a costume and are shoving a bag at you from between the little ones. I literally had to turn a few kids away toward the end of the evening because we had run out of candy...this has never happened before and I had to disappoint several little kids because of several greedy grown-ups.

Yes, I had that problem with trick-or-treaters, too. Young men as tall as me (I'm 6'2") with a hint of a beard and young ladies who were, shall we say, fully matured. All without costumes, of course!

Isn't this a perfect time for SPAM?

No costume, no treat. With that caveat everyone is welcome.

As a matter of fact even the more secular holiday Halloween has become was primarily an adult thing until around the 40's or so, when more kids got into it.
