October 28, 2012 - Scary Days
This is a scary time of year. We must journey deep into the land of evil and unknown and vote for a candidate who is
generally the lesser of two evils. It is also Halloween. We are definitely voting for the naughty nurse this year, especially if it's covered by our
insurance.
On Halloween, we will announce the winner of our Fourth Annual Edhat Halloween Story Writing Contest (EHSWC)! We've
had some good submittals; our judges are shaking in their shoes. It's not too late to enter; the deadline is tonight at midnight.
The Dog of the Week this week is Eva; the Cat of the Week is Puma. Kelsey Abkin, our Teen Voice muses about
Halloween, and Edda consoles a frustrated concert-goer.
