The last three Halloweens have been hectic. For example, Exhibit A and Exhibit B of village shenanigans - and the ever so popular double whammy parties of 2009. I consider Halloween to be extra special for many reasons. This year, I walked three miles to work (since Sandy ate the subway), three miles back... and then I had to take Henry to the vet again.

It's not even 6am yet - so far I've already received a birthday message from my father and Timothy has sung happy birthday to me three times. He also built me a custom desk for my birthday.
