🎃 Ghouls just wanna have fun

🍹Happy Friday! Happy weekend, y'all!

It's going to be a lovely Saturday and Sunday, according to local forecasts. Though I love doing fun stuff and chores outside in the fall, I still have my TV wind-down time.

I'm considering a new HBO comedy anthology series that we all can relate to: " It's Florida, Man" .

Just watching the trailer for the series brings out in me a cringy feeling of fremdschämen , German for secondhand embarrassment.

The crazy injuries and dismemberings make me wince, but it also looks hilarious and features an impressive cast, including Anna Faris, Jake Johnson, Randall Park, Juliette Lewis, Sam Richardson and Ego Nwodim. Even Carl Hiaasen shows up to weigh in on the madness.

🎃 Halloween events and other fun stuff

This Halloween weekend and through next weekend, there's fun for grown-ups and kids alike in our scary neck of the woods and beyond this Halloween season.

We also offer some non-Halloween events. What you should know.
