Almost Halloween

I knew the night had taken an odd turn when I caught sight of the elderly gentleman (dressed in a nightgown and wolf's head) dirty dancing with two gyrating Little Red Riding Hoods, one of whom was also a zombie, atop a wood-working island in the shed out back.

Halloween is so weird. It's fun and silly and a little scary when you're a kid, but it gets truly transgressive when you're an adult. I'm not sure when we began needing this sort of outlet, but I do know I laughed so hard last night that I lost my voice.
