What’s Up in the Neighborhood, October 30, 2021

It’s Halloween weekend. The time when little costumed kids go from door to door, begging for candies and snacks. I’m betting that in addition to the Iron Mans and witches and zombies traipsing up and down the neighborhood, there’s probably a few junior Ted Lassos and track-suited Squid Game characters this year. Although if one of those costumed kids shows up as the “Red Light, Green Light” girl, she gets all my candy and I’m done for the year.

But before we deal with Halloween festivities, let’s look over this week’s batch of wonderful blog posts and podcasts and comments. I hope you enjoy.
