That Awfull Halloween Grinch

<p>Today&rsquo;s Halloween blog will include below one I wrote a couple of years ago. I was not too clear in that blog how I really do not like Halloween. Call me the Halloween Grinch.</p> <p>While I am an old man I can still remember my fondness for fireworks. The issue is that I played with fireworks on New Year&rsquo;s Eve. Our cats Ni&ntilde;o and Ni&ntilde;a will not approve of all that banging of fireworks and the banging on the door that will happen tonight in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver.</p> <p>Because there are remnants of the Latina American macho in me I force (as I have in past years) my Rosemary to open the door and hand out the treats.</p> <p>I have a more recent memory of Halloween in Mexico City where poor children would come to the door and ask, &ldquo;<em>Me da mi jalowin?&rdquo; All they wanted (understandably) was loose change.</em></p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/photographs-words/that-awfull-halloween-grinch-338e2cba01aa"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
