Today’s Question(s):

Have you ever worked or attended school in a place where people come to work in costume on October 31?

Yes.

Have you ever gone to work or school in a Halloween costume?

Yes -- I worked at a small boarding school where the entire staff dressed up for Halloween.


Anyone have any funny stories about working in a Halloween costume?

Not about me, but one year at that boarding school we had a fund-raiser auction. One of the prizes was that the winner could dress the Head of Discipline in any costume for Halloween. Said Head of Discipline was a grizzled old ex-Marine who (surprisingly graciously) wore a pink tutu the entire day. Talk about a good sport!


Bonus Question:

Youngsters along the Eastern seaboard will be trudging through snowbanks this year to Trick or Treat! What kind of weather will the little ghosties and goblins experience in your neck of the woods this year?

Chilly, but clear.


When you were a child, did you ever go trick-or-treating in a snowsuit?

A heavy coat, yes, snowsuit, no.


Extra Credit Question:

When did you last change a light bulb in your home?

I had to change one about a month ago, and NEED to change one now -- but it's in a ceiling light and I'm procrastinating pulling out the stepstool and climbing up there.

Was it a/an:
Incandescent bulb?
Fluorescent bulb?
Halogen bulb?
Other?? Fluorescent, I guess -- it was one of those curlicue lightbulbs. You know, the ones that look like a dish of Dairy Queen™ ice cream.
