but as i've gotten older, and watched my kids grow into this i'm always struck by some of its more sinister nature. and sure, there's a tendency i think to reel from it. i know as i drive by some people's homes this time of year i'm always a little dumbstruck with the thought that i'm surrounded by sociopaths. i know there is a spiritual realm at play here as well. anyway, this is where we live now. and so tonight we'll probably walk around the corner and visit a block party we got invited to. which is a great time to meet some of our new neighbors. also it doesn't hurt that there will be candy.
