Early Halloween Tips for Seniors



You know you are too old to Trick or Treat when:

You get winded from knocking on the door.



You have to have another kid chew the candy for you.

You ask for high fiber candy only.



When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over.

People say: 'Great Boris Karloff Mask,' and you're not wearing a mask.



When the door opens you yell, 'Trick or...' And can't remember the rest.

By the end of the night, you have a bag full of restraining orders.



You have to carefully choose a costume that won't dislodge your hairpiece.

You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker.



And the number one reason Seniors should not go Trick Or Treating...

You keep having to go home to pee.

No matter, have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN anyway.

Halloween's Not Just for Kids It Seems

My son Adam is a technical engineer for Clearwire, a wireless provider and for the past few days he has been telling me about all the serious planning for the Halloween blowout at his office. Even he was amazed at all that was going on -- decorating all the offices, costumes -- the works. So, this morning he asked if I'd like to go over and see for myself. Of course, I grabbed the camera and said, 'let's go!'

Even after all he had told me about it, I was amazed when we walked in and here are a few shots of what grown-ups???? can do when they play like kids! It was really fun to see all of the offices on two floors totally dressed up to entertain the ghosts and goblins! Hey, whoever said we had to stop playing just because we got big? As usual, you can click on the photo for a scarier look!

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
