Every month has an ‘Ides’ in the middle. Today is the official Ides of October, and you can imagine how We have been anticipating the day. Maybe you have too.

Preparations for Halloween are many and varied, from big issues, like what to wear, to lesser considerations, like will it rain during Trick-or-Treat? Here, We like to sketch out different solutions to pivotal decisions, and assign one staff member or another to oversee progress in the vicinity.

Timing holiday hysteria is never easy, and many Halloweeners get over-excited, but it is best to keep your eyes open during this advent season. The word to the wise would involve hiding, but We prefer to just bull our way ahead. No guts, no Hershey Kisses.
