Not Zeus. Not Santa with a fish tail. Not some kind of confused king precariously mixed with a drag queen. Nope ... but they were all real good guesses. I like being something or someone for the holiday that others can't quite pick out right away. The ambiguity and mysteriousness are reasons I dig on Oct. 31 after all. I was King Triton today ... from that cartoon everybody's already seen. Even though I walked like a stumbling drunk, even though I had pins poking me on a consistent basis, even though I had synthetic hairs in my mouth pretty much always and even though people pushed me from building to building like I had no use of my legs (and, to be truthful, mermen don't have legs anyway) ... it all pretty much ruled. Long live Halloweekend.

I pretty much love Halloween.

Kayzha just walked up and asked, "Is that Santa Claus?" where on earth did you find that?!
I have very creative, generous friends.
How unique
