My daughter and I painted Halloween pumpkins this week. I was teaching at schools doing pumpkin crafts, and it reminded me it was time to do our own. My pumpkin has the pointy eyes on the right. We like to use paint and markers as it takes longer to spoil.

My new Halloween plan is to do the time warp again with plenty of meatloaf and curry. I was going to DC, but troops everywhere made me cancel the tickets. My new favorite activity is going to Maryland where I went to some amazing October dance nights. I was going to go back for Halloween weekend. However, it is murder destruction to my car, and so I am going to take trains and buses to get back to Maryland in mid November when I can get discount tickets.

Halloween is great for dancing parties for people of all ages. I am dusting off my dance trophies I won from dance school competitions when I was a teenager in anticipation of fun Halloween dancing.
Dancing helped me escape stress enough to graduate high school on the honors program, and to graduate University. I am happy a dancing part of the year has hit again.

This cartoon is too true in 2025. Plans for Halloween activities in DC areas now have to balance around troops everywhere.

Thank you Internet friends for wishing me a happy birthday. It is bittersweet in that I don’t get to see all the long distance friends I miss so much very often. I am happy to see them wish me a happy birthday, but unhappy that it reminds me I can’t visit them more frequently. It does remind me that I used to be far more socially active, and that I will go to nearby towns to make many new friends soon for events this month. I am a single woman that very much hates having no man to date. Halloween is a great time to meet people at events in towns not in Virginia at all.

Changing corporate logos have generated controversy this week. Pretty much all individually is against corporate politics.
