Well, I think I had at least 2 trick or treaters this Halloween, down from 3 last year. One family that I actually "greeted" (a very small witch with light-up sneakers, and some sort of large rabbit..."Harvey"?), and then I decided to just leave the bowl of candy outside on the steps. Twenty minutes later and it was all gone. I mean, I did have Reeses this year, so I guess I asked for that to happen. :)
Me rocking my tacky self at Zumbaween 2023.
I went as a retired Lawn Chair Lady.
And yes, I brought my lawn chair. :)
I have 1 more Halloween-esque event to attend this week, before I finagle that costume trunk back into my closet (Zumbaween? Yeah, it's a thing. Supposed to go in glow-in-the-dark gear, but I'll just sparkle, or try). Then it's onward into turkey land (or tofurky land), tree trims, and eggnog (what's the vegan equivalent of that? They MUST have invented one). Oy vey.
This doesn't look too bad: Tofurky with mushrooms?
And below, a Cherpumple...
a cherry, pumpkin, and apple pie, surrounded by 3 cake flavors.
Always something, right?
All that to say, this edition probably should have been scheduled BEFORE November launched. Body Parts. Yup, that's our theme. But in my defense, these won't be gory-zombie-Day-of-the-Dead body parts. It's Broadway, okay? Funny Faces, Happy Feet, On Your Toes, and Heart's Desire(s)...THOSE sorts of body parts. I did this theme a few years back, and it was surprisingly popular, so we're reviving it with new organs, I mean new songs and shows and performers. So Dick Van Dyke, Mr. Astaire, Patti, Jessica, Brian...and Hair! :)
Hearts...
Faces...
...and Hair!
And before I sign off, I want to thank all of you who donated to our recent station fund raiser. Maybe it's tough to listen to us cajole and persuade and beg you mercilessly to give, but thanks for putting up with it and rising to the task. Begging is done and dusted for another 6 months, so all my chatting can now be focused on musicals and dumb themes!
