Weighing in on Halloween Candy
The final count is in; after Sunday's grocery shopping added to the previous amount, The Dunne-Hosey Estates will be handing out 309.5 ounces, or 19 pounds, 5.5 ounces, of candy to kids from the West Side of Buffalo and elsewhere on Halloween tomorrow night.
Yes, that's right, folks; we will be handing out 3 pounds, 5.5. ounces more of candy than the weight of a regulation adult bowling ball to hundreds of ravenous kids, some very cute, some very creative and artistic, some a bit old and barely costumed and some who think they are pretty tough until either Walker Evans goes on a barking jag or I stand up to show them that if they try to fool Val or I into extra candy or intimidate anyone, that it is about 8-10 feet from our front porch to the ground.
Halloween has always been a favorite holiday for Val, and I am very happy she will be able to be home with me handing out candy and enjoying Halloween with most of the Trick-or-Treaters and their parents, who are in a fun, celebratory spirit.

I was hoping to stop by with the boys, but the wife took them before I got out of class.
