Maybe I can be a scary-mean tooth fairy?
White linen suit, fairy wings, a necklace of teeth, and a pair of pliers?

I’ve not gone out for Halloween in 2 years.
Last year, I had a terrible yucka-cold.
the year before, I had Newton, who was only 3ish weeks old, and needed constant supervision. (feeding every few hours, and keeping him warm and loved… I was by his side 24/7 in those days.
This year… I think I can pull it off. I have no idea what to dress as, though. the last year I dressed up, I went out with a crew, as the scarecrow (albeit overstuffed) from the wizard of oz. Nicole as the witch, Heather as Dorothy… we took kids trick or treating, then went to see a free concert of Lenny Kravitz and a few other really great performers… I’d like to take Stephen & Elisabeth out for T&T this year, or Kev’s nephew and nieces.
Things I’ve been –
Scarecrow
The Ape from the Murders in the Rue Morgue
A Grand Inquisitor
Concept Design – The Hunt (head of a stag, huntsmans uniform)
The Green Man
Ghost
Pirate (eyepatch, yes! hookhand or pegleg, no!)
Little John (as part of a Robin Hood Theme)
Psychadelic Man (The *last* Time you’ll see me in an orange unitard with tie dyed cape and boxer shorts over the front)
Flaming Carrot (superhero with a carrot head the top of which which burned a jet of flame, wore swim fins and traveled by a nuclear powered super-pogo)
Monsuir Mallah & The Brain. (monkey suit for me, with bandolier and red beret… I pushed a tanked brain in a baby carriage)
Feeling better… took some comfort in giving Newtie some loving, and am now officially lightened up. it only took about 2 hours for the feeling to wash totally over me, peak, and now, begin to abate. I’m looking forward to spending some time with my brother later this week, and maybe we can spend some good quality gabbing together.
I’m looking forward to watching COPS tonight with my sweetie.
Just got hit with a wave of sadness, at the grocery store. They were playing Cat’s in the Cradle by Harry Chapin, and it was all I could do not to bust out crying like a baby. I really haven’t thought much about my father being gone lately, but I was sort of blindsided by the tune and got caught up in a very sad state…not even over blowing off getting to see him, but because I won’t be able to. I can’t just pick up the phone and call him up to say hi. He really doesn’t exist anyplace now except in my heart and in scattered form over the Atlantic Ocean.
Her name is Chupa, the Chupacabra,
With ugly spikeys in her hair and a spine exposed to air.
She don’t meringue, don’t do no cha-cha,
But it’s the thing she does the best, That most people do detest.
She does it all night long, just listen to my song.
One day a goat will be walking by,
Next he’s awfully dry.
She’s the Chupa (Chup), the Chupacabra (Chupacabra)
Her mealtime’s a taste of macabre (Yeah?)
Yes, the Chupa (Chup), the Chupacabra (Ooh),
She sucks goat’s blood and she’s not my bud
Yes she’s the Chupa….She strikes at night.
His name was Pico. He was a farmer.
He once had 30 head of goat, now not one darn sheepskin coat,
Because the Chupa, she paid a visit.
And while our Pico slept in bed, Chup enjoyed much blood-a-red,
Pico woke up that day,
Did not know what to say,
There was blood and some 30 goat heads,
He knelt down to pray. She’s the Chupa (Chup), the Chupacabra (Chupacabra),
Her mealtime’s a taste of macabre (Yeah?)
Yes, the Chupa (Chup), the Chupacabra (Ooh),
She sucks goat’s blood and she’s not my bud
Yes she’s the Chupa….She strikes at night.
KEEP OUT.
