I heard a few times that the teacher of the next class got a little irritated because the students didn't want to remove their masks. (Damn math teachers) Then we used a laptop computer and a projector to show them pictures of pumpkin carving, as seen here with this picture of my brother and I (me at about 16, my bro at about 11),
as well as some of the pictures of the Halloween parties from last year in the Denver links on the left.
Then we used said computer and projector to let them experience a little Halloween spirit by having a volunteer from
the class click through this site.
So, that’s it for Halloween, hope yours was fun.

“Sorry honey, but me and the boys were just at the strip club looking at d’asses.”
