My previous little post notwithstanding, I do wish you all a
Happy Halloween. Honest and truly, I do. Yes, indeedy. Now if only the tricky treaters can hold off until after lunch, I'll be thrilled to little bits and pieces. I sound like a curmudgeon, I know. But you see, that's
exactly what I am. A crusty old, book-hugging, book-hoarding, book-loving curmudgeon with a steely eye and a chihuahua. HA! (The kids, unfortunately, see right through me, and mine is one of the first houses they hit up for candy.)

Note: The fabulous painting of the giant rabbit run amok is by the wonderful Michael Sowa.
Right back at you, kiddo. ;)
