Fact: The English word ‘Halloween’ comes from “All Hallows’ Eve,” being the evening before the Christian holy days of All Hallows’ Day (All Saints’ Day) on 1 November and All Souls’ Day on 2 November.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last night was the first time in a year that Mary and I sept apart as she was fighting a cold, and it was too close to the operation for me to catch anything.\u00a0 I went to the guest bedroom down the hall.<\/p>\n

I could not sleep, so I spent a lot of time in the office.\u00a0 Finally, I got to sleep at about 4:00 AM, and the phone went off at 5:06 AM.\u00a0 “Your Security System Has Seen Someone In The Front Yard!”\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>I pushed some buttons, and a spirit floated up the walkway.<\/p>\n

Did You Know?\u00a0 In Greek mythology, Chronos, called Father Time, was the king of titans and the father of Zeus.\u00a0 Cronus was a harvest god and carried a sickle, a tool used to harvest grain.\u00a0 The Grim Reaper holding a scythe is derived from a combination of Chronus and Cronus.<\/div>\n

On the bright side, it was not an older man with a scythe over his shoulder.\u00a0 I was getting somewhat worried.<\/p>\n
