There's No Song About White Halloween (Recent Photos)
I've had some really good weekends recently. Thought I'd share some highlights and photos with you. key code for Total War hacks
Last Saturday, I rode the bus into Boston to meet Tony and check out The Brattle Book Shop. We chose this one largely because of the blurb it got when voted the best used book store in Boston by the readers of Dig Magazine. key code for Total War hacks
The book store turned out to be awesome, and we both left a bag full. This picture is from just before the book store, when I was trying to find Tony on the Park Street side of Boston Common. The man in the middle of the picture was holding a bucket to his head, screaming, "We love Jesus, it's religion we hate," over and over again. key code for Total War hacks
Yesterday, Ruth and I drove to Salem, Massachussetts for some of their Halloween festivities. Because the weather here is completely retarded, it snowed.
There is no Elvis song about White Halloween.
Salem was really cool. The witch trials are apparently their biggest tourist attraction, so they have a street fair the weekend of Halloween. We had fried dough, walked through a neat bookstore, and saw a significant portion of town. We would have seen the whole thing, but we were slowed by sogginess. The snow was better than rain, and it added a neat atmosphere to things. But we probably would have gotten more out of a dry Salem. key code for Total War hacks
We had a lot of neat looking things to choose from, and we ended up going on a Witch Trial Trail tour of Salem. The coolest looking thing that we didn't get to do was the Haunted City performances.key code for Total War hacks
The tour was led by a neat historian guy named Jim.
Right over here is this guy's tomb. He's not there anymore; his family sold the tomb.
One neat thing about the tour was that it was candle lit.
If your styrofoam cup catches fire, just drop it. Waving it will only make it worse.
Also, here are some pictures of us:

that sounds really cool. we watched horror movies last night. luckily, Exorcist: The Beginning was really just bad instead of scary. I went to bed when they started the original Halloween. key code for Total War hacks

Did I write you back? I definitely started composing a message, but I'm enough of a tool to have never finished/sent it.key code for Total War hacks
