Well, I hope you've all enjoyed your Halloween or All Hallows Eve if you prefer. It's also Reformation Day if you care to be more serious. Evidently Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on the church door on October 31 because he knew there would be a good crowd at mass the next day for All Saints Day. Like many of you, my spouse and I spent the time from 5:30pm to 7:30pm opening the door and handing out candy. We had ghosts, lots of skeletons, little 'pumpkins,' super heroes, nurses, a coal miner and my favorite costume from last year, a traffic cone. It's actually a good safe costume to wear as you walk dark streets on Halloween, those orange and white stripes really show up. The sweetest was a little 3-year-old princess who was so proud that she knocked on our door all by herself. Her mother and little baby brother were right behind her of course. Earlier in the day my west coast brother informed me that today is also "Sneak Some of the Candy Yourself Before the Kids Start Knocking Day." I'm happy to report that we did just that.
