Halloween Is A Four Day Weekend

I'm the boss. So what I say goes. I'm off to San Francisco.

Speaking of Halloween, I rececntly had a phone conversation with Miranda, Huili's daughter. She is six now, was born in Los Angeles, but raised in Europe, and now has a slight British accent that makes you feel like you're in an Oliver Twist movie: "Why yes, Miranda, of course you may have more porridge!"

Miranda: I don't want to go to Los Angeles. I only want to go if I can fly on the back of a bird. Birds are my favorite animals.

Me: O rly.

Miranda: Yes. One time I went to the zoo, and we saw dead owl chicks and my dad said they weren't going to feed them to the owls, but they did! So we had to leave.

Me: Hey, Miranda. Do you like... CROWS?

Miranda: ...yes.

Me: Excellent. Let me tell you about my favorite Shinto god...

Miranda will make a perfect convert to my new favorite religion. Yatagarasu demands it.
