Happy Halloween 2007

Halloween61sm Charlie Brown: "I got a rock..."

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  My kids love it and my wife loves it.  Charlie Brown holiday cartoons also remind me of my childhood in the 1960's and 70's. "The Great Pumpkin" was my very favorite. Check it out. It's not logistics related, but then again, procurement and sourcing are close.

Listen carefully to what the cartoon kids get for treats...popcorn balls, cookies, fruit...stuff we'd make a point of throwing away today. This was a simpler and better time.

Congrats to my brother Harry and his bride for their 15th Anniversary today.  I recall specifically that he said they got married on Halloween because marriage was "scary enough". All I could think about was that for the rest of their lives when they wanted to go out to dinner on their anniversary, they'd be taking kids door to door.   They also had the temerity to get married during the Georgia/Florida football game that year.  How they managed that I don't know.  If it had been the Auburn/Georgia game, I'd have missed the wedding.

I think it WC Fields who remarked that "Only a marriage and a prison sentence are counted off in years."

I like that.
