It’s Halloween, you’re 7, and you’re too sick to go trick-or-treating.

Tonight, I told the kids they had to get into bed. 

I reminded them of why it’s important to get a good night’s sleep. ”This morning I had two sleepy kids I couldn’t get out of bed for love nor money,” I said.  

Sophia’s mouth dropped open. “You didn’t offer us money!”  

As soon as I could make myself stop laughing, I sent her upstairs to bed. 

We will now interrupt the story — such as it is — for some AHCK-TING! (Man, I would just love to lock Harold Pinter and David Mamet in a room and let them talk one another crazy.) 

In case you’re looking for info on just where these damned fires are:

LA

San Diego

These maps are stunning.

The fires are incredible.

I have no words.

But this one is freakin’ hilarious, I promise you. It’s Ten Things I Hate About Commandments and I just have to say, this is the kind of thing I’ve always wanted iMovie to wreak upon the world:
