It took us until the day before Halloween to make time for carving our pumpkin. And even then, we squeezed in a date at Cafe Piccolo and a movie we have been waiting 2 weeks to see, Where the Wild Things Are, at the Art Theatre before Marta went to bed and I took the time to gut our pumpkin and put it under the knife. I wish I could say the carving experience was more enjoyable, but in comparison to the dinner and movie with my wonderful wife, it ended up being more of a chore. I was looking for a movie to watch while I did the carving and found my inspiration in Johnny Depp’s character from Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands. I am happy with the results, even though one of our “much to old to be trick-o-treating” trick-o-treaters tonight asked me who it was, and I told him, he said, “oh yea? i guess it sort of looks like him”
