TRICK OR TREAT

It's night again.  And soon Halloween will be here.  And beyond that will be Thanksgiving.  How long will it be before Halloween arrives?  I'm glad the Gentle Reader asked that question.  Let's see.  Tomorrow is Wednesday.  Halloween is on Thursday.  So roughly twenty-four hours plus a few more hours on top of that before it's officially Halloween.  Should be both fun and scary.  Ok, mostly fun.  Still, Halloween is the one holiday that's devoid of any deep meaning or significance.  There's really no point for the holiday beyond scaring people and going trick or treating.  Ok, how many people actually gets a trick?  None?  Well, it's impolite to give a trick if a treat isn't given because chances are people only go trick or treating with neighbors.  And you have to live with those neighbors beyond Halloween.  So it's mostly treat or treat.  But that doesn't sound right either.  I guess it's better to stick with trick or treat because that phrase survived the test of time. 
And as I'm lost in thought with Halloween getting closer, here are some photos of Charisma Carpenter.
