Here's my costume for this year. For the record, this has nothing to do with recent events in the news. I don't even pay attention to the (bad) news. I chose this costume to coincide with the "Carnival of the Zombie Pumpkins!" theme that adorned the website this year. And I've been planning the site design and the costume since the beginning of the year.
Who says I'm too old for trick-or-treating? I have the heart of a child. It's in this bag that I'm holding.

I have many clown patterns to choose from, but I decided to carve two 2016 patterns to go with my costume - Freak Show, and Pennywise (pictured above).

Many trick-or-treaters were very hesitant to approach me for candy, and I had to lean out over the porch to give candy. But none of the kids ran away or started crying (darn, I'll have to try harder next year). But I did get a genuine scream out of someone at our Halloween party. Mission accomplished. See you next year.
