Over 3 blocks closed, with local pubs opened and club all participating and the streets were jammed in happy displays. Some noisy radio host, was blaring his voice into the mike announcing the next one in line ...wish he would shut up, my ears are killing me...
As I walked around eagerly searching for a zombie or one of the walking dead I noticed most people were here just like me, minimalistic and without overdone costumes. Just casual enjoying all the efforts of the Halloween- cladded dwellers among us. Then I thought for a moment maybe we are the ghosts? Maybe we are just here lurking on this night?
My left foot was throbbing as I climbed up onto the stool of the bar we went to. I had broken it last week miss the last two steps down a very steep staircase. It was my fault, I was texting on my phone (everyone knows not to text while going downstairs..) The hospital took xrays that afternoon and confirmed my fears that my foot was broken. But stubborn as I can be, I still went out and left my air boot at home ..the shoes were good support though...remember 'hush puppies'? soft and sensible shoes..that's what my grandmother would say. I miss her, she's not with us anymore, but I still talk to her. Funny I saw her a couple of weeks ago that's strange?
I ordered a rum a coke (highball) with ice *my favorite drink* and drac ordered a 'bloody ceaser' of course ...tee hee. He did though and as I looked around at all the faces in the crowd I was asking him if he was having a good time...I thought not as he looked sad and didn't respond. I thought the bartender was very rude as he brought drac's drink, and still I was waiting for my highball..with ice. After 10 minutes I stood up and yelled out over the crowd, 'excuse me sir I believe you have forgotten to bring me my drink!' what is the matter with these people? 'I say sir!, I continued I shall report the Churchmouse and Firgin to the Head office of the FIRKIN PUBS!!
BOO, LOL HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 2013
