Halloween Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
When my kids were younger - my wife would go with some neighborhood moms and the kids around the neighborhood for trick or treating (while the moms enjoyed some wine). My job was to stay home and pass out candy (with one eye on whatever game was on TV). Sort of nostalgic for those days.

Today's offering a little late as I stayed up to watch the Cowboys roll over the Eagles on Monday Night Football (or MNF as the cool kids are abbreviating it). Think this all started with Saturday Night changing their name to SNL back in the day.
