The Orange, the Black, and the Furry…
— There are those who wish that every day was Christmas; I couldn’t stomach that! It’s bad enough that Xmas has expanded its boundaries to be promoted and pushed for the last two months of the year; the stores have their “trim-a-tree” shops ready to pounce, and very soon you’ll be hearing your first Xmas carol and commercial promotion! Poor Thanksgiving is almost pushed out of the running as a road bump in the annual Xmas express.
I could do, however, with a little more Halloween! It’s a wonderfully weird and twisted holiday, one in which the imagination reigns supreme, and even the mundanes are free to let a little of their inner selves out. Halloween is furry-friendly, and always has been; alternate identities are what the occasion is all about. If you want to wear a fursuit or maybe just ears and a tail, no one is likely to give you a second glance on October 31st. I can still remember wearing a leopard suit when I was in elementary school, kind of a case of an animal impersonating a different species. I suffer a mild depression when Halloween’s over, just as some do following Xmas and knowing that it will be a long wait until my time of year is here again. My interests are still Halloween-esque year round.- -It’s my world, and welcome to it!
But the real deal is almost here, and the question is…are you ready?!

Sorry for the delay. I’ve been glued to my TV set, watching monster-movies old and new.

That’s always a worthwhile enterprise! And the viewing has been especially rich this Halloween season…if only it lasted!
