Quiz: Do you know who Jordan Baker is? (Hint: think American Lit. 101)

For Halloween I was Jordan Baker, a professional golfer of questionable integrity who represents women of an elite class in the 1920's. She is savvy, shallow in her approach to life, and admired by men wherever she goes. Still hasn't rung a bell? Think Daisy's friend in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I'm keeping the Halloween tradition alive this year by going as a character from a major work of fiction. Last year I was the young girl Heidi, left in the care of her grandfather in the Swiss Alps. The book, Heidi, was written in 1880 by Johanna Spyri but you'll recognize the story from the 1937 motion picture with Shirley Temple as the lead.

Q had to work on Halloween, but the rest of us had a blast. I think S.L. is the busiest street in the city because just down the road, the neighbors were giving away bowls of chili, homemade donuts made right in the street, homemade rolls, and root beer. I also noticed the king sized candy bars in trick-or-treater's bags. There were a couple haunted houses too. Dude? Who is funding this out of free will??? We must have had 1000+ trick-or-treaters. My new teacher friend and C & kids came over for the fun. Yes, we watched the Mummy-Daddy, and it was GREAT! If you missed it, you will just have to remember not to be AWOL next year.

...And last Sat. Quinn FINALLY had the weekend off so he took me out for Breakfast at The Bear Paw and then we went shopping at Costco where we bought a dry fit shirt and potatoes.

P.S. Still NOT going private. View THIS STORY on KSL to make up your own mind.
