Halloween Afternoon+Trick-or-Treating



Well, Ruth and I spent the rest of the afternoon playing with our friends in the leaf pile, and when we trick-or-treated somebody thought I was Harry Potter instead of a fried egg.

More Halloween

We're all ready for the night; we've got our pumpkins carved and the bike lights* charged, our costumes ready, and the tricks** and treats in bowls and waiting.
OK, you want to hear about the * and the **, right?
Well, I put the star next to "bike lights" because I didn't think you used bike lights instead of candles in your Jack-o-Lanterns. But hey, don't laugh! We're getting to the modern times, and at least I'm not using a plastic pumpkin.
The ** was next to tricks because we're actually going to have the option of tricks this Halloween. (e.g. little parachute guys, bubbles etc.)

Halloween!

Happy Halloween everybody! I finished my fried egg costume yesterday, It turned out pretty good. Well, I have to leave for school, I might post another entry later.

Newspaper and Costume Making

I have started making a series of newspapers each day called the AndyRoom Times. I think that pretty soon I will be putting them on my blog, also. We're going to start making my fried egg costume for Halloween this afternoon.

Bike Riding

I just got back from a marvelously exquisite, refreshing and mystifying bike ride. (OK, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but it was still grand.) We went up through a college to Mountain drive, and at the stretch at the top there is this squiggly in all dimensions. It's so high, out-of-the-way, squiggly and cliff-like that it is a very unpopular road among cars, which makes it even more popular among bikes. There were some outstanding views, and at our turn-around point there was this person's mailbox that was the shape of a person with big glasses riding his bike. Can you guess where you put the mail in? Leave a comment with your answer.
