About five weeks ago or more, Kristin and I decided that we were going to host a kids oriented Halloween party this year.\u00a0 Costumes, kids, and the whole shebang.\u00a0 While it was plenty of time for everyone to make sure that they had their costumes in order, it wasn’t quite enough time to lay claim to the primary Halloween weekend, so we scheduled it for this Saturday, one week before the holiday.<\/p>\n

We started preparing, bought a fresh round of decorations for the year, and sent out the invitations to our friends with kids. (“Invitations” being a clear synonym for “emails”)<\/p>\n

Just today, two days before the party, I got this email from one my friends.\u00a0 It wasn’t even a new email, it was a reply just to me from a thread between a bunch of us discussing when our next poker night would be.\u00a0 So it’s not like he’d been thinking about for some time, it was just something that crossed his mind as we were emailing around.<\/p>\n

Kristin mentioned a carving table for pumpkins so I assumed kids were allowed.
