Happy New Year!

Being a devout follower of the Great Pumpkin (hallowed be His fields), today is my local new year, for values of "local" that include me, my cats (who enjoyed their new year's treat of tuna juice from the can), and any pagans in my vicinity.

I like having multiple New Years. It gives me the chance to try again if I feel like this one isn't working out (although strict application of the math involved may well mean that I'm in my sixties). I like the fact that everything is different today than it was yesterday, even if everything is also exactly the same.

I hope you all had a fantastic Halloween, whether it's something you celebrate or something you endure or something you barely notice until it's over and the basic cable stations stop showing endless horror movie marathons and repeats of Hocus Pocus. I hope you ran amok, or didn't, as your heart prefers. I hope you spent some time in the cornfield of your heart, remembering the sweetness of the season.

From all of us here (mostly me and the cats) to all of you out there, Happy New Year. Welcome to November.

It's going to be a good year.

This was a fun Halloween. I took my 3-year-old trick-or-treating for the first time. He loved it. Not so much the candy (he doesn't seem to recognize most of it as food yet) but oh, the juice box somebody handed out? he clutched that to his heart as though it were gold. \o/ But mostly it was all about the jack-o-lanterns and getting to go up to people's houses and say hi and yell "happy halloween! trick or treat!" which is apparently the most fun EVER.

Anyway. I like having multiple new years's, too. (I mostly observe the Jewish one in fall and the Gregorian one at the end of December, though this week makes a fine one, as well.) Happy new year to you!
