If you believe this inane falsehood, you might want to stop reading now.
Free of charge, the general public can view the display through portals looking into the garage at 159 Jewett St. from 7-10 p.m. each night until Nov. 6.
For starters, there’s nothing worse than being trite, or predictable. I understand that it makes the costume arrangements easier for The Blonde Woman and The Gray-Haired Man: They can simply wear black suits and ties and sunglasses, then use me as the centerpiece for their ridiculous couple’s costume.

This academic year marks the first time since COVID-19 shut down the world in March of 2020 that educators have experienced anything that resembles normalcy in our schools.
