THOSE SCARY DODGERS & THE SPOOKS

Finally, here it is.

The night of silent sepulchres and slithery serpents.

The night of darkness and fear.

Halloween!

But before I get to that, for what sports fans are out there, the Los Angeles Dodgers are once again the baseball kings of the world, having defeated the New York Yankees in the 2024 World Series.

Now you all know me as a fan of the Arizona Diamondbacks and as one who "hates" the Dodgers.

But as I told Baseball Steve the other night, I've hated the Yankees for far longer, since I was a little kid.

And until the Diamondbacks came into existence in 1998 I was a Dodger fan, first with Brooklyn and then with L.A. once they moved.

I have proof.


That's me in a photo taken on the patio of our home in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1988, triumphantly holding up the Los Angeles Times.

So Congratulations, once again, to the Mighty Dodgers and wait 'til next year.

Now, as for Halloween, I promised you an extravaganza and here it comes.




























That's it for me for this Halloween, good friends and Gentle Readers.

I hope you have a rip-roaring good time and are not too frightened this Halloween Night.

And always remember something . . . what the heck was it anyway?

Oh, yeah, KEEP LAUGHING!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

( . . . ooooooohhh . . . )

  1. Oh my gosh! I actually took my mom for surgery on a Halloween. Yes, the staff was dressed up, and it was a bit disconcerting. At least we didn't see Satan or The Grim Reaper!
