Today, was Halloween.
I might have dressed up:

I might have dyed my hair:

When people asked, I told them I was “a riot of color.”
I might have a lifelong fondness for Halloween and its trappings:

This was nursery school, October 1978. I believe it’s my second Halloween costume ever. (Mum and Dad, feel free to correct me on that if I’m mistaken.) Mum made it, as she did all my costumes between this one and 4th grade (I think). Yes, I was really lucky.
