Why does Halloween feel Hollow to me? Perhaps because all the witches, warlocks, and goblins have been flying around for the last few months, and next Friday can’t be any scarier than what we’ve been going through recently.
Between Wall Street, Corporate America greed, Bailouts, the Presidential election, how much more can we take? Probably quite a bit more it seems. What can change? How will it change? Who can lead us through this morass. Where’s our compass? Our guiding light? Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns it’s lonely eyes to you. Boo hoo hoo.
History though has shown that when things seem the bleakest, and popular sentiment has all moved to one side of the scale, the scale starts to move… the OTHER way. Let’s see. I think the end is near. One way or the other.
Is it possible then that there’s a treat in store for us? I think it might be. Hmmm, that’s more like it. The old optimistic self is starting to resurface. Yes, Charlie Brown, perhaps there is a great Pumpkin after all. Only time will tell. Six more days to be precise. Keep your gardens watered and frost-free.
