12. Used to love dark rum and lime

Oct 31

When I was a student in Dublin. Eventually moved up to vodka gimlets.

Tonight was fun, with kids in costumes, not too many, all from the neighborhood. Cute. The scariest was a small 12-year-old boy in a solid black inflated costume, unevenly round, with his entire head so obscured by black cloth that he was faceless. He said he was the void.

(He would have been perilously invisible on the street, but he was responsibly helping his gran pass out the treats at their house next door.)
