Halloween in Jersey in the 80s
Here’s a great bit of nostalgia for those of us who grew up in the tri-state area in the 80s. Mom – make sure you show these to Ken!
New “How Stuff Works” Article
My latest article is up over at How Stuff Works — How Sand Dunes Work.
Happy Halloween!
So, today is Halloween. This year we have no party to dress up for, but we’re celebrating the season by seeing The Toxic Avenger tomorrow. If you’re dressing up this year, tell us about your costume! And if you’re not dressing up, tell us about your favorite (or least favorite) costume. Or your very first Halloween costume.
The first costume I can remember choosing myself and wearing to school was a Snoopy costume; I think to kindergarten. It was one of those costumes from a box — my grandmother usually made our costumes by hand, so it was very exciting to get one from a store. If I remember correctly, I ended up getting sick that day at school and was only able to trick-or-treat at our next-door neighbors.
