Tuesday will be the day little ghouls, goblins, superheroes, royalty and more trod the streets looking for candy. In my neighborhood, I can’t remember the last time I got a trick-or-treater, but in Sarah’s neighborhood where I’m sitting Charlie, there are a lot of kids. Last year, several of us sat in a central location to hand out candy in the circle; I’m not sure if that’ll happen this time, but I’m prepared. I don’t know what I’ll do if these guys ring the doorbell, though.
I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.
