Trick or Treat!


When I was 11 or 12 maybe, my friend Glynis and I had the best Hallowe'en costumes ever. Her dad worked some place where he had access to lightweight plastic barrels. We asked him if he could bring home 2. With the addition of small buckets and little safety cones, and two cans of spray paint, one red, one yellow, we went trick or treating as Ketchup and Mustard. Well, we did until the chafing in our armpits became more than we could stand. Then we went as farmers.

And for a treat - download the full copyright-free text of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. here!

Nifty. Homemade costumes are the best!
