Halloween Decorating

I'm not a big fan of the scary decorating themes for Halloween. As a Christian I'm a little uncomfortable with all the emphasis on demons, ghosts, monsters, satanic stuff. But I do like to have fun and a costume party is a lot of fun. I stay away from the "scary" stuff and decorate with a Fall theme. But here are some great ideas on decorating for Halloween. I found them online and I'm always so impressed with the ideas people have!

The Hiatus

Well, September is nearly over, and I haven't blogged for weeks. A huge part of that has been returning to Chicago and Evanston to teach, part of it derives from ongoing projects (writing, university-related activities, etc.) that have left little time to do anything beyond tweeting, email, and reading others' blogs, and part of it is not being able to keep up with the fast-barreling train of current events, many (most?) of which I want to write about, but.... At any rate, I hope to start blogging a bit more soon.
