When I was a kid, it seemed like the popular thing to do for Halloween was to get a mask of someone famous. They were uncomfortable, made it hard to breathe, didn't stay on right, made it hard to see where you were going and sometimes the little rubber string holding them on broke, etc.

Nowadays, it's like let's spend lots of money on a whole costume or really go crazy to look like some characters, such as my son and daughter-in-law did in this photo.

That's my son as Gomez and my daughter-in-law Samantha as Morticia at a recent party with their friends.

Being a character from Back to the Future is popular again with it being 2015, the year they went to the future in Part 2. And Star Wars is popular, but so is everything from Peter Pan to Austin Powers, to Fred Flintstone. It just depends on what you want to spend.

Not sure what I might do yet. It might have to do with a certain nuclear reactor technician who has a passion for doughnuts. MMMMM doooonuts.

Happy Halloween!
