On Halloween night I regularly get hundreds of trick or treaters, literally hundreds, on my street. At times I’ve had to have someone keep giving out candy at the front door while I dashed out the back door to get more.

I was running a bit late this year, and for several reasons had neglected to get any trick or treat candy. On the way home Friday night I stopped at the local supermarket and scored the last six or seven bags off the depleted, Soviet Union-looking candy shelf. Went home, got organized, opened the door, switched on the porch light, sat in my living room, and got ready.

Net result: about a dozen kids.

Next year, I swear: just look at the photo.
