Costume decision

Help came from roommate who went as a Bloody Mary one year.
The hooded pullover idea has evolved. My costume will be "Red Riding in the 'Hood.'" (;-D) Speaking of 'hood,' after reading I'm Down, I decided to look up my old elementary schools in Renton. Both have 70-75% of their students getting free or reduced lunch and are Title One. I wonder how that compares to when I went there? What would I be like if I hadn't moved to an island I don't really know anymore? Not possible to know. Today I did this little stab at putting down creative writing ideas.

Strange phone calls at the old woman's house in Seattle
Old man in nursing home?
(Girl giggles because he coughs so much and insists she is someone else)
Weird voodoo chant from another culture?
(Girl stays on phone until the chanters hang up.)

Nothing about the island there.
And I watched Kantoi, Going Up the Country, and Godless again.
I believe I will spend more time in gardens, even in cold East Coast winters. And look at some good Canadian Garden blogs! Amazing how well they can live in that socialist country, eh?
