I knew him well. 'Tis with sorrow that I look back and remember the days when Halloween had something to do with the undead. Time was when you tried to dress up as the most frightening thing you could think of and then try to scare someone. Now it seems that it's just a big commercial fancy dress party.

William had picked himself out a fireman's outfit for Halloween and Karen wanted to go to the zoo to take some photos of him. They had a pumpkin patch and the idea was that it would make for a better picture than just in the front room. And it appears that everybody else in San Francisco had the same idea, so the zoo was filled with many a family and their little darlings dressed as Spiderman, Teletubbies, Fairies ... well, basically anything you can think of except for anything traditional. Nevermind, the kids seemed to love it, including William and I suppose that's all that matters.

P.S. William's the one in the fireman's uniform. Not sure who the witch is! (Maybe I'm wrong, maybe somepeople did get dressed up to frighten other people. Maybe I'll just lie down on the couch to save the hassle of being sent there later).
