&lt;p&gt;This Halloween, we had our own fears. Money took a big bite out of Treats (candy) this year. Not only treats were cut, but also the inventiveness and number of our decorations. That was all depressing to me. We didn&amp;rsquo;t have as much to see. We didn&amp;rsquo;t have as much candy to give out. But, even with these fears, the lights stayed on and we did what we could. As I age, I stay perpetually afraid this will be the last year we’re able to do Halloween and Christmas as we have. Seriously, I worry about that. But, more importantly, I&amp;rsquo;m worried about the kids, what they make of the world, and the growing ranks of adult-children who are making a mess of our world. The chronological children are trying to stay afloat amidst the impossibility of our broken ideas and behaviors.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
