Happy Halloween everyone! Some of you already know, today is my day. My birthday is the only day I like better than Halloween. My day started with spiral glasses, bunny ears, dressing the puppies like a shark and piggles - and hitting the street. This all occurred prior to 8am... I've already arranged to leave my office early today. I don't think anywhere does Halloween quite like New York City. It's one of the most hopping nights of the year...
Since cracking off this web-ville in 2009, I've seen (and written about) a lot going down. I've also had the privilege to watch a collection of my fellow wordsmiths get the bindings they've been chasing, with their name printed across, scattered around bookshelves all over the place.

This is fine and everything, but not after we stop talking. If I know someone personally, and we stop talking, and the person continues to come...
My weekend has been spent staying awake, carving pumpkins and weaving around midtown. I'm happy to have a friend around while I ride out the end of the most recent stint of terrible. I ate Thai food last night and laughed until I was lying on the ground in giggles. My friend put a pumpkin on his head to make me smileĀ and carved out the face that I drew on another one. I love October in New England, it's special. Everything suddenly tastes like...
