I'm a first-class putterer trying to make sense of my reads, eats, and travels - among other things. Those other things include raising two young'ns, working at a small, rural library, and learning the ropes of self-employment.

Countdown to October 31st
It's that time of year! While it's not my favorite holiday, Halloween does feel like the kick-off my favorite season - fall. As a theater major, I've always appreciated the absurdity of celebrating costumes. (A crucial part of a thespians workload.) This year, I've got my two kids' costumes in the bag, and we're stocked up on candy. But I do need to line up a few more things before this Friday:
Finish my own costume. (This happens every year, I get started, and then - SQUIRREL!)
Line-up a fellow preschooler to go trick-or-treating with.
Since eclectic author Neil Gaiman started this tradition, I'll let him introduce you to his spur-of-the-moment idea that's now 14 years old. How long does this take to qualify as a "ritual?"
