Halloween/ Chris Rock/ Emily Dickinson

, originally uploaded by Davidlind.

Eat, drink and be scary. ~Author Unknown

At first cock-crow the ghosts must go
Back to their quiet graves below.
~Theodosia Garrison

One need not be a chamber to be haunted;
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
~

Charlie Brown is the one person I identify with. C.B. is such a loser. He wasn’t even the star of his own Halloween special. ~


And as long as we are going down this road now is probably a good time to hear from Michael Jackson, too. MJ who died the way he lived and lived the way he died.

Michael I hope you are happy (wherever you are) and finally have a nose you can  enjoy for a long time.   Why not get together with Janis, Elvis, Jim, John and the rest and do something like We Are The World Beyond?
