So - I don't know how many of you hand out candy at Halloween - but we always have. This year we only got 10 or 12 trick or treaters - so my roommate and I stumbled on the greatest thing either of us have ever done on Halloween.

We called it : Reverse Trick-or-Treating. What happened was - we bought too much candy and didn't want to leave the candy in the house as a temptation to eat it all. So - we were already dressed up - and then decided that we wanted to do something fun.

I have had a wonderful last 2 days - very little pain - energy levels very good. I was excited. So - we walked down the street and stopped in at gas stations, bars, places where people were sitting on their porch still, and just random people on the street.

We took the candy to them! Reverse trick-or-treating! It was wonderful to just see the surprise and excitement on the peoples faces! Most were adults that were still up and about - and I suppose getting candy on Halloween when you're over 14 is a novel experience.

I'm hoping to repeat it next year! I just thought I'd share. Just getting out there and meeting people and seeing them smile at the surprise.

Hope every one had a Happy Halloween and ate a ton of sugar - reliving your childhood!
