Apology

I, who seldom apologize or say thank you, extend this apology to the two children who did the early round of Halloween trick-or-treating at my house and, of course, to their parents. The children apparently were brother and sister around ages 8 and 10; I think you know who you are. I apologize for throwing my buckets of candy at the kids' heads. I apologize for causing them to stumble and fall down my porch steps. I do apologize for screaming at them as they ran away. They were dressed as Wall Street executives. I'm keeping their golden parachutes.
