Happy Halloween. 

Some scholars believe Halloween is a descendant of the Celtic festival of Samhain, or summer’s end, when dead walked the land. Others think it purely Christian, the eve of All Saints, or All Hallow’s Day. No matter. If you celebrate Halloween, have fun. If, like me, you sit at home before the fire and read, go for it. May all your treats be happy ones and all your tricks benign.
