Because it\u2019s there<\/a>! Heh. I hope you enjoyed laughing at that as much as I did, which was pretty much not at all. Anyhoo, I have much to do today, despite what the presence on the blog today would suggest. I\u2019ve got to help boys get through their last day of the semester, take kids to football practice, carve four pumpkins, and get ready for a weekend of ghost walks, scary games and movies, apple cider and apple fritters, and of course the spooky culmination of Trick or Treat, which always includes family visits and marathons of old, silent movies (like Phantom of the Opera<\/em>, Lon Chaney style, or the ever popular Nosferatu<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Anyway, whether in all of this I can return or not before next week, I\u2019ll have to see. But the numbers of visitors and readers is growing, and I\u2019m encouraged for such a new blog. Please feel free to comment, though I know that the comment box isn\u2019t quite as easy and straightforward as I would like, it\u2019s not so bad. As long as folks play nice, they can say what they want. I won\u2019t swoop down on them and run them out of town for the sin of disagreeing with me and all the hip people I know. If I\u2019m back soon, I\u2019ll see folks accordingly. Otherwise, have a happy and ghost filled Halloween. Next week, we\u2019ll actually pick up on some of those other holidays (or Holy Days), like All Saints Day, that our culture has long forgotten.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
