I hope that everyone had a fun Halloween.  While spending it with a teenager is its own kind of special fun, I miss the little ones.  I have to admit, I still don’t know the name of the video game character that my son was, but he looked great!  I would love to hear how your Halloween went.  Did you have school parties?  Did you do a trunk or treat?  Did you dress up?  Share and let me live vicariously through you!

Here are the articles that I found compelling this week.  Take a look!
