I’m back from running Halloween-related errands. Our condo never gets trick-or-treaters, so I’m going to Crystal’s house in a bit to take advantage of their more civic- and holiday-minded neighborhood. I don’t have a costume, but I do have a mask I picked up years ago at Carnevale in Viareggio. (Though it’s not the one pictured in the post.) I’m armed with candy (for the kids) and a Full Quiver cheeseball (for the adults).

Songza has a collection of terrific Halloween mixes, if you’re looking for something to listen to that isn’t the Monster Mash!
