so sadHalloween is over.  It’s been a week now.  Luckily, we can still carry the spirit of the season with us for another year.  How was your Halloween?  What did you do?  Were you able to post bail?

I was hanging out with KatieBella and Obi Ken Kenobi at their Bungalow of Infamy.  We were joined by Chatty Kathy and we talked up the spirits.  Or spirit.  KatieBella had her trusty pendulum, we lit the incense and candles, and conversed, seemingly, with a Native American woman from the other side.  After that we brought out the Tarot cards and an oracle book.  The first card of mine that jumped from the deck was The Devil.  In answer to my question I posed to the oracle book, it said “the tea leaves form a demon” and something about the answer being a big “No”.

Suffice it to say, we had fun.

But that was last week.  And I’ve spent these last few days, other than working my full time job and sleeping, in a state akin to…bluesville, baby, bluesville.  Is it just me, or do any you fine people out there get a little depressed after the holidays, too?

The excitement is over, the decorations come down, the anticipation has dissipated.  The holiday has passed.  Bummer.  It’s like that, for me, with Halloween and Christmas, and Thanksgiving, too (but not as much with Turkey Day).  Granted, I’m in a Halloween state of mind eight days a week, but when October 31st comes and goes, it’s still a little sad every time we say good-bye.  The seasons roll on, that big wheel keeps a-turnin’.

Now Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, and Black Friday, and Christmas is knocking at the door.  Then it’s a New Year, a fresh start, and the forecast is mostly clear and partly cloudy with a chance of rain.  Valentine’s Day, Easter, a hop, a skip, and a jump (it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane) and it’s July 4th.  We’ll be back around to this time of year again before we know it; probably even before we are really ready for it.

Break out the mead, I’ll get the yule log.
