I couldn't think of a title tonight. I don't even know what I'll blog tonight. I do know you should check out our picture:

I took a glass of wine out trick or treating last night. We were about 5 houses in when the kids came running at me full bore... and then through me... the wine glass dumped all over and the kids were screaming... someone had a scary little man in front of the door. It was so cool to see what Halloween is like to a 6 year old. I loved it.

There's this one family I look forward to seeing every year. They are the most amazing Halloween family I know. You know how some families decorate really really hardcore for one one holiday or another? These guys dress up together. It's a family affair. To give you an idea of how awesome it is, one year they all dressed up as various Egyptian steretypes... a tomb builder, the Queen... with EVERY costume they do every year, the include a wagon filled with beer usually which they hand out to the parents on the street if you "guess" their theme. The wagon is completely decorated, that year in the shape of a pyramid. They wheel it around and you have no idea what is in it. It is always the centerpiece of their theme.

This year the wagon had a Finding Nemo tent surrounding it. The wagon is small, the kind you have when you just have one child. It was transparent wrap with Finding Nemo fish and they had propped flashlights in to illuminate it in strange ways. I saw The Dad first. He had what was clearly intended to be sea kelp or something that made him appear to be something from under the sea. I guessed he was the King from Ariel... he told me to think more cerebal. He pointed out his wife... she was dressed all in pink... I still didn't get it. He told me he was Wasabi... I still didn't really get it but I did get that the wife was Ginger.

Once I saw the kids, it was all tied together. Under the sea... ginger, wasabi, a lobster ... and a sushi chef.

I have some really cool shit going on. It's just cool. I have thought about my promise to myself all night. I'm sorta regretting the impetuous decision to challenge myself. Sometimes we just aren't ready to face the dark places... or even the light ones.
