It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

Actually, it's been bright and sunny, if cool, today (after a week of summery weather, yesterday was gray and cold. San Francisco knows how to keep you on your toes). YG has gone off across the bay for an orgy of trick-or-treating and a sleepover, and will be delivered to us at 7:30 tomorrow morning in time to be rushed to school. Sarcasm Girl is putting the last touches on her costume (she's a pirate, and a very fetching one) and will be going out momentarily with a friend, wilding for chocolate. (Wow. Wilding. Anyone else remember wilding?) Which leaves me here at home with a bowl full of candy, two jack-o-lanterns, and a dog who's never participated in these arcane rituals before. Spouse says he may actually be home in time to help man the fort, but I'm expecting a fairly quiet night. Which is scary, somehow.
