I would never say it’s routine, because there’s always some delightful new twist, but it is pretty regularlarly that Erica and I get asked to put on some weird costume and be on the WGN Morning News. This time it was our friends at the World of the Weird Monster Show who were our proxy hosts, having been asked to come on and be general spooky Halloween background. Chad and Jenny loaned Erica and I remarkably accurate Marty McFly and Ghostbuster costumes, respectively. Erica did an amazingly Michael J. Fox bewildered shrug that made Chad laugh out loud every time he saw it. And I got to stand around a lot and point my Ghostbuster-gun-thingy (oh lord, I’m going to get letters telling me the proper name, aren’t I) at ghosts and such.
