We had a total of two trick-or-treaters come to the door tonight, one of which was our grand-nephew from next door. Pretty low intensity stuff. There are just not many kids of that age in the neighborhood. Oh well, more tootsie-rolls for me.
We usually hang out in the den where the computers are, but can't hear a knock at the front door from back there. Our normal procedure when we are expecting someone is to leave a post-it on the door telling them to come on in or come around to the back. This doesn't work for the halloween kids so we spent the early part of the evening watching tv in the living room where we can see the door. Now that it's later and the good tv is over we have gone back to our compu-lair but I have set up a videocamera through the glass storm-door with a wireless feed to the tv in the den. We monitor the front porch for candy seekers even as I am blogging the experience. Oh these high-tech times we live in. I hear Sony just hit the market with little portable flat panel wi-fi tv's you carry around with you and watch anywhere.
