For a brief moment in time, I was a wizard.

This morning, I was "Kevin the Wizard" as I hosted the Washington American School Halloween trick-or-treat. I blogged about this one year ago.

With a dracula cape and witch's hat, I was more of a crossbreed than a wizard, but who could tell? My coworker (whose son's school was the one that came by) told me the flow of the 1-hour show, and I ran with it. There was some miscommunication on the floor, as one of the teachers kept looking at me like "What are you doing? That wasn't in the script." Well, it was in MY script. No one cares about the overall picture. It's all about me. Halloween isn't for the kids anyway. CHRISTMAS is for the kids. Halloween is for the adults who pretend they're not who they really are. Anyway, I think I did a good job hosting the game, speaking loudly, clearly, and slowly. But it makes me realize that I could never teach kids because I can't stand speaking at such a simple level. Anyway, it was fun. Now it's back to work work.

Oh, and like last year, BT sent another Scratch & Win card "Fright Night". But I Scratched & Lost. Dangit.
