It was pretty cool actually—felt pretty freeing.
But there aren't a lot of bear suits out on the streets of New York on Halloween. No. There are skimpy sexy outfits, glaring scary outfits, silly outrageous outfits—all on people with excessive amounts of that whoop-it-up anything-goes energy that comes to people on the one night when you're supposed to let your inhibitions go.
Bah humbug, I say. Go back to the suburbs. Stop scaring me.

Jon, It's so obvious why you dislike Halloween. You are inherently evil and you fear your dastardly nature being exposed on October 31. I love Halloween and I found your piece most amusing. There is something to be said about costumed people pretending to be psychotic killers in this day and age. Still, you got to get into the spirit of the thing. Steal those quaint porch jack-o-lanterns and smash them in the street. That's what they're there for.

Thanks, Guy! Maybe not recognizing my inherent evil has been my problem all along. :-)

So Jon, perhaps you would like to do what we are doing on that day. We are celebrating Music and Healing at Heron Brook Haven with an all day festival, no masks involved.
