Happy Halloween everyone! I hope, even if you’re not a huge fan of the holiday, you’re having a spookily good time today! Despite being slightly peeved about having to spend money on candy for random kids, I do have some fondness for the holiday. After all, there’s nothing like a good scare every once and [...]

Can I rant about Halloween for a minute?
In theory, I love Halloween. The mixture of fall decorations, cute costumes, and low humidity is right up my alley.
