Happy Hallow’s Day.

RELAX. IT’S OVER.

ALL HALLOW’S EVE has ended.. Trick or treat night ended up being rainy for little Ayden.. the dark side of the night actually became intensified—it was like the ancient Celts were right .. I felt a thin vale slowly lifting for a bit as the wind and rain poured down over streets vaguely light by night lights and glowing orange Halloween decor.. But the night, as things go, is over. Quickly.. And now we march as a civilization into the other season. In America, Thanksgiving. And across the world; Christmas. Santa Claus is putting away the Halloween mask and warming up the sleigh.. His slave labor camp is going into high gear.. Elves’ breaks are stopping. Hope he put the suicide nets outside of the North Pole. 

Onto Christmas we go, world! 
For better or worse.

Memorial Day weekend continues. Three days for many, but the pain that occurred to create this holiday is purely evident.
It all began as a celebration of those who perished during the Civil War.. Perhaps just too many other wars had taken place by the time it was expanded to dedicate a day to all lives lost during warfare.. We celebrate with barbeques and picnics, family outings and trips.. but pause for a moment and hear the distsant and faint sound of canon fire, musket fire, and gunfire from the past. And realize that even today wars are continuing (for better or worse) that will lead many more names and lost lives to be cherished for Memorial Days to come..
