So I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t believe we’re already heading into the end of October. Frankly this scares the hell out of me because we all know Halloween is the starting line for the holidays. It’s sort of like being put in that tube that takes you up into the arena in The Hunger Games.
Anyway, hard as this may be to believe, the people at KRNV actually want me to do another segment at 11 a.m. for the News 4 Forum. So I thought I’d give everybody in Reno (sorry non-Renoites) some helpful info about how to get some extra candy this weekend. Because lord knows we all won’t get enough on Halloween…

Oh yeah. Now when we go out, the paparazzi will be all over us. It’s going to be horrible. We’ll have to rent one of those private island to get any peace. Phew. What a bummer.
I’m all but certain that this show reaches at least tens of people — but a different tens of people than my blog does, so true, I may be upping my notoriety. Possibly doubling it.
Well now, that’s a lot of candy!
Seriously. I’d say it makes you wish they’d pass out little toys or something, but then we’d just have more of that crap floating around the house!
