Happy Halloween!
No real bloggage today; I'm leaving early to participate in our company's food drive, and then I need to get the rest of the party food for the gathering I'm having tonight. So, I'll leave you with a few spooky links, and wish you all a lot of fun and candy tonight!

That's all for now. I'll be back on Monday!
Update:Okay, I said I wasn't going to blog, but I have to link to this humorous story about a NC State fan who admits to a terrible secret in his past - rooting for UVA:
Imagine the horror: sports fans wearing striped ties, spectators swaying hand-in-hand in song, and constant and repeated references to Thomas Jefferson in every uttered phrase. Make no mistake, this horror is as real as the grave of Sally Hemmings. I should know, I lived it. This is my story.
I once was a UVa fan. It's not something I'm proud of, but it's true...
It wasn't until we saw what the students and alumni of UVa really were that the true horror of being a UVa fan was realized. I went to Scott stadium to witness UVa's first-ever victory against Clemson...A sense, a prickly feeling on the back of my neck, something told me that Charlottesville was a very unwholesome place.
Whenever the Cavaliers scored, even if it was just a field goal, all the fans would put their arms around each other and sway back-and-forth together while singing the New Year's Eve song. Such things did not happen at normal football games...The ghosts of Jefferson's love children were clearly menacing this campus, consuming the souls of its students...
UVa is a land of zombies with excellent standardized test scores.
Hee hee hee. When else am I going to get the chance to link to an article that uses "zombies" and "excellent standardized test scores" in the same sentence?
