I have a tradition on November 1st of taking a walk until I find a piece of discarded Halloween candy wrapper and take a photograph of it.
2025’s winner is an Orbit gum. Spearmint.
And that’s a wrap on the 2025 Halloween season. (Pun not intended but then intended.)

Welp, it’s official. Today’s Halloween Google Doodle is my all time favorite.
Haunted House Pac-Man.
(Also, I’ve never had a better game of Pac-Man in my life.🎃)

Seriously: an image like this in my junk mail circulars this time of year makes me deliriously happy. The faded newsprint photo coloring, the bats, the font, the jack o’lantern pizza. Bliss.

I sampled some Ghirardelli Jack o’Lanterns Halloween candy.
Gain a sugar high vicariously, won’t you?

I have so many digital things, in so many digital places, I had to create a digital drawer to put all the digital things in so I can check one digital place and remember to watch them all. Digitally. 🤓🎃

Having lived through the “Cola Wars” I look forward to remembering the escalation of the ‘Skeleton Wars’ from the 2020s.

I was so bummed to discover that this past Sunday’s @nytimes.com for Kids section was going to be its last.
A special thank you to Amber Williams, Deb Bishop, & Molly Bennet who made these issues and the SPECTACULAR Halloween issues in October HAPPEN.
I loved those the most.
Not that I read them…😉

Went to my local big box store to see the Halloween wares that I had to pass by the week before.
Alas, 99% of it had been replaced with Christmas.
I mean… it’s my own fault. I DID wait until August 31st. 🙄🤦♂️

I was going to buy this Halloween countdown toy for a dog I know—-but it’ll be a rib cage and half a foot on top of a pile of fuzzy white stuffing in about 46 minutes.
