[Boo!] [1]
“It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent guest of wind which swept up the streets …”
And so begins Edward George Bulwer-Lytton's Paul Clifford [2], as wretched a novel as existed, and it described tonight fairly well as I took The Kids trick-or-treating [3]. The wind was so violent that it constantly inverted my umbrella [4] and in the end, I gave up on using it.
And The Kids scored some 11 pounds of candy this year.
Unfortunately for me, they're not leaving for their Father's tomorrow [5] …
Sigh.
