And here he is begging me to finish my Literary Theory outline so we can hurry up and go to sleep. My late-night writing is highly inconvenient. 
I hope Halloween isn’t a total washout, but there’s a chance we won’t make it outside at all due to rain. Still, we’ll be spending the evening with friends, which is better than trick-or-treating anyway. I’ll post pictures tomorrow.
