To all you boys and ghouls out there --

Happy Halloween.  Happy is not a word we have used very much this year.  Happy implies an in-the-moment, carefree elation.  Given the current economy and market, that can hardly describe us.

Halloween has become a fantasy escape for our culture.  Sure, we still see witches, goblins, and vampires.  But many folks choose naughty bar maids, political figures (which can be VERY scary), actors, superheroes, and more.  We use Halloween to dress up as someone else and act silly.

That is HEALTHY !!!!

Today, take time to let your guard down, be funny, laugh, appreciate silliness, and relax.  Times will get better.  Just keep doing the right things you know you need to do. 

I am going out as Harry Trotter.  I will be a young boy wizard with the runs.  I'll carry my bottle of Immodium with me.  ha ha ha

Take care.
