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.

Happy New Year. I tend to think of the winter solstice as my new year, so I can understand picking Halloween.

I actually got some treat or treaters! Including some teen-agers! It was awesome (Where I have lived for the last several years was on the wrong side of a street with no light or crosswalk for more than a mile so no one every visited us on Hallowee).

Though I did buy way too much candy - I think most of the kids went around before I got home from work.
Yay trick-or-treaters!
