A post Halloween rewatch of Carpenter's The Fog has done nothing to diminish my desire to live in a lighthouse one day. In fact, it's currently fueling it like petrol slung into a bonfire. Yes, my retirement plans now include fighting vengeful dead sailors and gazing out toward the abyssal deaths.

🎃 Some lessons from Hallowe’en: 👻

I work with a group of such talented, caring, good-hearted people and I am so grateful for them every day, especially when I am being annoying.

Of all the kids on Halloween I love the surley teens with their backpacks on the front the most. Get your candy kids, don’t say thanks, the night is yours.
