Late October

Two points. Or rather, one point and one question:
I really don't hate grading. I just wish it didn't take so long.
I'm going as the forest floor for Halloween. Zoe will be a squirrel. Or a chipmunk.. I'm trying to talk Erik into being a forest Satyr (name pun) but he's insisting on wearing a toga. I think a toga and some hooves would work. I really wanted to rehash my Lemon Fresh Scent costume but Erik gave it away at a party on Saturday. I also liked last year's Whitman themed "Stucco'd o'er with quadrapeds" but nobody got that.
Here's the question: Have I been the forest floor before?

I love the family themed costumes. I think this might be the second year we try (and fail) to go as the Superfriends.
Maybe I'll go as Isis.
And I haven't ever seen you as the forest floor, but that doesn't mean you haven't done it. But as far as everyone there is concerned you haven't done it. So do it!

I hate Halloween so. much., but I do think that your costume ideas are fantastic. As in fantastic! I would say that, even if you've been the forest floor before, you could do it again. A different forest, maybe. Or during a different season? Are there forests on Venus (that way you and E could go as a Venutian and a Martian forest, respectively)?

I think your drought costume is confusing you about the forest floor.

Let's see...
Twister, (what else happened at Reed?) drought, monkeywrench gang/ blair witch project, etc???
and those already mentioned: whitman quadrepeds, lemon fresh,

Thanks P! I forgot about drought. That was similar. Forest floor went wellish but no real party for anyone to see.
