Exactly. Sorry to hear about the tire!
I had a fucking great Halloween. Unlike Piob's ghetto, we gate off our streets to traffic for one evening per year and embrace the chaos of literally thousands of kids and parents descending upon us. I gave away 200 pieces of candy, one per child, in under an hour, and we live on the quieter end of the street. A neighbor down the street gave away 1500 pieces, again one per child, over the course of the evening.
I had some really great interactions with kids, parents, sexy moms and French people. I felt like an integral part of a true community, and while there were a couple of parents and teens with too much of an entitled attitude, they were a very small minority and were more than made up for by everybody else. When my wife got back from work we walked down the street, greeting friends and neighbors along the way, to our friend's annual open house. Since we moved last year (to the other end of a 5 block street, ha!), we haven't seen as much of our old neighbors as we'd like, so it was a great chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones. I discovered a mutual love of fireworks with an older psychotherapist / neighbor whom I'm never met previously, so I'm looking forward to good times in the future with my new friend!
That sounds like an awesome Halloween! One year, in the old neighborhood, we had a Halloween party the prior weekend for the Mrs. work-mates and had a lot of beer. Some was left over so we handed that out to parents on Halloween evening.
Also, let me know how you like the Everlane shirts, PLZ.

I last wore BB seriously in '96 or so. Then they shut down the store on McKinney where I knew a few of the reps by name. Then there was a dry spell where I had no more need for shirts, this might have been a decade or so - and around this time the only BB nearby was an outlet store in a big outlet mall. They opened a store in the Galleria but despite the grandeur it's still a fucking mall store. I'll hit up the Chanel boutique and NM, though, on the occasion I must be in the neighborhood.
As for BB OCBD, at the time - for some reason their OCBDs at the time were awfully thin and not well-tailored when compared to their pinpoint shirts, or the RL OCBDs. I just really disliked them. Wore two of them out, went to RL, and never looked back.
Oh, and I usually do ship to the office but decided not to for reasons I can't put my finger on. Oh, that's right - my last shipment of sparkly thong underwear arrived with the package torn. Can't trust the gorillas that handle the mail around my office.
