It’s Wednesday. As I mentioned before, every October the girlfriend and I have a little tradition—we hop in the car and cruise around checking out Halloween displays. Usually, we just wander from one neighborhood to the next, letting the decorations guide us. Last year, though, I stumbled across a free app called FrightMaps, which highlights all the best displays in your area. It uses a Google Maps-style layout, so you can easily spot the spooky places and navigate right to them. If you’re into all things creepy, it’s definitely worth a download.

Okay, today I’ve got a small gallery of photos (below) from our latest Halloween cruise. Enjoy!

It’s Tuesday. Saw this video a few days ago and thought you guys might get a laugh out of it.

It’s Monday. Brrr! It may not be winter yet, but it cooled down significantly yesterday. It’s officially chilly now. Between the rain, high winds, and below-normal temps, it felt even colder than it was. I took that as a perfect excuse to lobotomize Jack and roast his pumpkin seeds. I love making my own seeds and usually crank out at least two batches before Halloween. Good thing, too—this first batch is disappearing fast.

Since it’s spooky season, I’ve been on a scary-movie streak. We planned to dive into season two of Wednesday, but it had been so long since we watched the first season that we ended up binging most of season one before moving on to season two.

We also got a few other fall essentials in—restocked the candy corn, made a trip to a local pumpkin farm, put up more Halloween decorations, and wrapped up the weekend with a big bowl of homemade minestrone soup. No complaints here.
