Then… Growing up, we lived in the perfect neighborhood to Trick-or-Treat in. An idyllic neighborhood full of young families and scads of kids, during a time when neighbors were actually neighborly.

It was a Dark and Stormy Night… Wait, no it wasn’t. That’s a different story entirely. Yesterday marked the 1-year anniversary of my Father-in-Law’s passing.
