And for some bonus content, CBC had me do a little TikTok video to promote the article. It revolves around some tips for what to do if you get caught!

As a side note, the kids took a mighty haul that night! I’ve already eaten some of it, though not quite my allowable one third.

And just for fun, here’s a photo of my son (in costume) and I while we were trick or treating.
