Today was Halloween. May was a dog, and Ben was a frog. Jill took the kids to downtown Collingswood for trick-or-treating which was too busy and crowded. I took the kids down the block for trick-or-treating.

May and I had a fight about who would carry the pumpkin bucket that we filled with candy. May wanted to carry it, so that she could stop, unwrap some candy, and then eat it. This really slowed us down, particularly because May is not good at unwrapping candy. We had a fight, and I won. She said, "Dad, you're a monster!" Naturally, after dinner we gorged on chocolates and we got along a lot better after that.

We ate so much candy that I was too sick to do yoga.

I've very tired today. Ben had another eye surgery earlier in the week and between that and Halloween, I've had to stay up late to keep up on things. Right now, as I type, I'm reviewing the recording of a lecture I missed, reviewing some notes I made on this, and blogging.

The lecture I'm reviewing is talking about the cryptosporidium outbreak in Milwaukee back in '93.
