My neighborhood in Arlington, Glencarlyn, came up with a smart safe and fun system for celebrating Halloween during the pandemic. Ruth and I had fun, and it seems the kids did, too.
While there were fewer trick-or-treaters out than usual, we still had about fifty little ghosts, ghouls, clowns, imps, ninjas, planets, and princesses and the like pay us a visit.
A merry spooky time was had by all. Boo!
Quarantine Diary 34. Ruth and I spent a happy day wandering along the Potomac River waterfront and in Old Town, Alexandria VA.
As my old friend and former mayor of the city, the honorable Allison Silberberg puts it "Alexandria is a national treasure."
The only downside was a few pro-Tr*mpf people observing a boat rally on the river. They seemed both odd and dispirited. They were certainly vastly outnumbered by the happy and diverse folks strolling by.
We had a lovely day. A blessing.
