You are the king of Halloween. I loved reading your history of Monajem Halloweens. I’m sorry you will miss this one. But holy cow—the flu is out there in a big way. You are very wise to skip it. They say one in 3 Canadians will get the swine flu. I am remembering talking to the CEO of the CNA in the summer who for some reason thought he had the inside track on how the swine flu would unfold this fall. With absolute confidence, he said “it’s so over. No problem.” Generally, humans are not geniuses. My conclusion, yet again.

I empathize with your lack of Halloween! It’s not as big over here, and I haven’t seen a single carved pumpkin. And I remember Christmas at Halloween–it was wonderful! Poor confused, little kids

I bought one of those. I ended up using a grapefruit knife. Last year I used a jigsaw. I was thinking of buying a little hand held electric saw. It makes things a lot easier and faster.
