We're calling this Halloween the Thomas Crown Affair.

spatch. I don't believe we have any photos of the masked and costumed snow fight between my niece the dragon and King Kong Fox, with
gaudior as referee and occasional target, but it was epic.

Round like a flurry in a corner, like a drift around a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever falling scene
Like a snowball from a dragon, or a costumed Fox,
As the images unwind, like the circles that you find
In the snowfalls of your mind.

I went looking to see if I had a copy on my computer, but I didn't. The first time I heard that song, though, was on The Muppet Show.

They ran around and around friends' yard with many glow sticks, high on mini Rice Krispie treats and a roll of Smarties. What a strange year.

My legs may still be longer than theirs! They definitely have the grasshopper proportions advantage right now, though.

You can tell them I am wearing one blue and one purplish-pink glow stick on either wrist, which means I'm pretty sure I'm wearing a bi flag.
It is a strange year, but we are here for it. (2020: the equal and opposite reaction of Shehecheyanu and NOPE.)

It was chaotic and charming and occasionally punctuated by the combatants doing things like drinking hot cider or eating Kit Kats.
(But you do make a dashing Thomas Crown)

Thank you! We still have some of the snow, too.

It would have been best to be able to hold our annual Halloween party, which had to cease operations for the first time since 1968, but it was really nice. The socially distanced trick-or-treating (participating houses put out candy on tables or blankets in their yards, six feet or more from the door: kids with pandemic masks on as well as the normal kind came by and picked it up: it was permissible to open the front door with a mask on and call, "Happy Halloween!" as they left) actually looked like it worked, too.
