The Countdown To Halloween 2026

 

I think I say this every year: I'm not ready! 😁

I've got a few ideas for posts this year. Hopefully I got enough to last all month.

Make sure you check out the Countdown to Halloween blog to see all of the participating Cryptkeepers this year!

And now, how about a little life update:

Back in June I had triple bypass heart surgery. Luckily, they found it before I actually had a heart attack. I still have a little discomfort in my chest. Everybody heals differently. They say it could take six months or more to fully heal. I'm going to cardio rehab three times a week until November. 💗

In July I turned 60 years old! How did that happen?

Anywho, that's enough about me. Let's get this countdown started! 👻💀

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This month sure did fly by.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Halloween!

Every year Geoff Castellucci, the bass singer for a Capella group VoicePlay, releases a new video for Halloween. This year is Grim Grinning Ghosts from Disney's The Haunted Mansion.

Thurl Ravenscroft would be proud.

Trunk or Treat

My son and his kids came over to our place last weekend for Trunk or Treat. My son was dressed up as a Cereal Killer. My granddaughter was Pomni from some show I've never heard of. And my grandson was Sonic the Hedgehog. Here's a few of the pictures I took:
