Hollow Men

The little woman doesn't want to go trick-or-treating for Halloween. "That's for kids---we'd look like idiots," she says.

So nutty neighbor Emory and I will do the venture on October 31. Because we're both short on cash to spend on costumes, Emory suggests that we wear our 40-year-old old suits and neckties hanging in our closets since the 1960s. Great idea. We'll go as tv "Mad Men"'s Don Draper and Roger Sterling. You can guess who will be who.

I just hope other neighbors don't recognize us through our disguise. Then we'd really look like idiots. And I hope we don't encounter the hotly talked about new witch who is roaming our state of Delaware: Christine O'Connell.
