It’s that night, my friends! Of course, I did my partying last night at the public library, like a good nerd. Wanna see my costume?

If you don’t know who I am, well, sure I’m a little hurt. You’re not alone. Most of the party didn’t know. Except this one guy, dressed as Rick O’Connell from the Mummy; his wife was Evie.

I know, I know, you’ve had plenty of ads and mailers reminding you, and I’m annoying you right now. Sorry/not sorry. The stakes are too high not to vote. No matter what you’ve heard. No matter what the polls say. So make a plan and get ‘er done.

I hope you have a night filled with just the right number of ghosts and ghouls and plenty of candy. If you’re looking for some scary stories, I put a list of my free ones on Bluesky, and you can always check out my oeuvre here.

Happy Halloween!
