Just for fun, I am re-publishing my Halloween episode from two years ago. Here's a quick summary of where we were at the time. It's 1995, my boys are seven and five years old. The last three years of my first marriage were spent living in London. My boys and I have just moved back to my hometown on our own, and tonight is their first Halloween. And to the listeners who don't know us, or anyone joining us late in the podcast, the previous owner of my townhouse mentioned is this story is now my husband. Happy Halloween everyone!
