all in the timing

[42itous]

We had no trick-or-treaters until after 6:30. We made ourselves a nice dinner, uninterrupted, and then -- exactly as we sat down, before we had a chance to take our first bites -- the doorbell rang. So far, we've had a tiny pumpkin, a zombie princess, a karate kid, and two cheap iParty costumes. We're gonna have a lot of Smarties and Nerds at the end of the evening...

We haven't had a trick or treater here in at least 10 years. The city has a kids' costume parade every Halloween afternoon after school, and the kids hit every storefront in town right after it's over. My boss at the real estate office used to buy close to $100 in candy every year.
