Howling at the Urban Moon

I have a lot of better-late-than-never posts to get out there, and I figure NOW is a good time--anything to keep my mind off yesterday's election results.

Halloween ran the gamut this year, from an upstate fall fair, to trick-or-treating in the concrete jungle, to a special screening at The Met of "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown."

The school banned scary costumes on Halloween Day, and students were asked to dress as a character from a book. Love the literary nod, but what a nightmare for parents to facilitate two different costumes per child. Grrr. This was one of the more noteworthy PC moments in our return to the U.S.

The kids first trip to The Met was a delight:

Trick-or-treating at all the stores up and down Broadway . . .
