Hee hee, Robyn!
Now that's a smart kid with a future.
LOL !!! Adorable. What a fantastic idea he had. He's set up with sweets for a long time yet now. Got a free prime time ad in for Snickers too I see. They should make him their mascot for ads. Definitely a future.

I was trying so hard to figure out the title of this blog because from my reader I was taken to a clip on recycling! Then I read the comments and realized something had steered me wrong. :D

I feel pretty certain that there would have been more candy in the other side if he had trick-or-treated around my neighborhood but it would have been a closer race. I voted (for real) on Saturday morning because I just knew it would be a madhouse at the Community building on Tuesday.

It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations.

The Ultimate Storyteller—in Life AND in Death

I wrote about The Autobiography of Mark Twain in yesterday's edition of Small Town Newspaper. You can read it here , if you want.

He really was a masterful storyteller, even when rambling on about the poorly designed door knobs in Florence or in describing the Countess Massiglia, who he described as a "pestiferous character." About her, he said, “She is excitable, malicious, malignant, vengeful, unforgiving, selfish, stingy, avaricious, coarse, vulgar, profane, obscene, a furious blusterer on the outside and at heart a coward.” And I laughed out loud.
