Well, what a day. Ended up with a good group, small but important: - Di and I, of course (duh) - nostradomnatrix and skiggaret - caliban - tsomewhereime and Tom came down from Seattle - strangewink made it, with optimusjesse in tow - delilahbowie and John came as well - the immediate in-laws and a couple neighbours, as well skiggaret shot video, so as soon as I have it, I'll post it somewhere. Plenty of pix, and as soon as I get around to weeding through them and such, I'll post them, too. For now, suffice it to say that it was a wonderful day. Mucho rockin's to all that made it special. Erik did get a little trick-or-treating in after we got back, which was cool. As usual, less and less kids coming around...sad, so sad. We got a couple, including one pair that were so jailbait I had to look twice, and one late comer, couldn't have been more than a year and a half, pushed around in a stroller, but so damn adorable I just melted, especially when, with a little coaching, it happily burst out with something that approximated 'thank you!'...DAMN, that was cute.
