Today's Daily Prompt from The Daily Post reads: If bloggers had their own Halloween and could go from blog to blog collecting “treats,” what would your blog hand out?

Pearl Jam: Hartford, Connecticut
I wanted to tell you all about my AWESOME weekend but I have to disclose that it's 10:42 p.m. exactly as I type this first sentence-- which is late for an old lady like me, so we'll see how it goes. You may run into typos and terrible grammar, but I'm just going to barf…

You can find his post and his blog, "terribleminds: chuck wendig" here. This week, he provides two columns of words. The challenge is to pick a word from column one, then pick…
