I frickin love AMC! They are running all of the Halloween movies today...all day! Halloween was one of the first scary movies I saw when I was a kid and it scared the crap out of me then. My other favs are Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, and Jaws! Incidentally, when my wife and I were coming home the other day from the northland, I saw the sign to turn off on the road to go to Plainfield Wisconsin. Plainfield was home to one Ed Gein during the 50's, who was basically the inspiration for the villains in both Psycho and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Ed Gein was a monster of his environment, and yet people around him had no idea, as he was this quiet mild mannered guy who got along with everyone. It's always the quiet ones you gotta beware of. Anyway, because of this Halloween marathon, I am now glued to the TV along with this sedentary computer for the day, writing a breakout session and preparing the powerpoint for it I am giving this weekend (I was asked to lead a session on whatever I wanted to for this evangelism event, and I am talking about preaching...should be interesting; will blog about that next week). Taking the kid out tonight in his Spiderman costume...he looks great with the foam muscles and the mask! Now, if I could just find my blue jumpsuit and an old butcher knife, along with that white mask... More later...

i would love to sequester myself in a movie theater ALL DAY TODAY! dude!
I figured you would love this day and all of it's creepiness!!! By the way, one of my neighbor dad's jumped out at me while I was nicely filling his son's bag with candy with one of those stupid blue jumpsuits, the knife and the white mask - needless to say, his son thought it was funny - I did not!!!
