If I promise that this will be the last Hallowe'en post until next September*, will you go back and read some of the entries you might have missed in the final days of the month? And maybe even comment?

*Keeping in mind, of course, that many of my posts year-round are vaguely Hallowe'enish, and that isn't going to change.
