It’s Saturday, and it’s Halloween. Time to sugar-up the little Trick-or-Treaters with candy and get our own costumes going. A lot of friends have been going to haunted houses and other Halloween-themed events, but I’m not into the scary stuff. I don’t even like to watch horror movies!

And don’t forget, daylight savings time starts late tonight. Turn back those clocks at 2 a.m. — those of you who will still be out partying at that time will love the “extra hour” you’ll be getting.
As for the links I liked this week, I’m going to try to do this every Saturday — but don’t get mad if I slip up now and then!
