Friends, Halloween is upon us. And to be frank, it's perhaps the most depressing holiday on the calendar for the precise life-space-time coordinates I currently inhabit. I'm 35. I'm happily married and have no kids. And that's the hole in the donut for Halloween. Age 1-13: Dress up and get candy. Age

And by "special", I do mean "short bus" special. Let's get this straight right now, I am not a Panthers' fan.  So I really don't have a horse in this race.  If they never win another game, my only reason to care is that I'll have to hear about it from
