The Idiot always slips into party mode at the end of October and the celebrating is especially intense this year after he successfully MedTrekked for a month through southern Turkey to Syria.
That’s not only because he survived the MedTrek outing and considers Halloween and All Saints’ Day, which are dedicated to remembering the dead and departed, the most revered holidays of the year. But his mother also turned 95 on October 24 and he notched up another year, his 29th, without consuming a drink or a drug on October 25.
Who wouldn’t gather family and friends and throw a few happy, joyous and frolicking parties?

Naturally The Idiot continues to walk and work out despite the festivities. He tried to entice everyone to get into shape for Halloween by hiking across the Sundial Bridge and on the Sacramento River Trail in Redding, CA.

It’s the excitement of Halloween, from picking pumpkins to creating a variety of costumes, that really titillates The Idiot.
