Tom's Ghost Pen - 2026

On Halloween in October of last year, while Tom was convalescing at the Piedmont Gardens (link below), the "Clients" were given a treat bag with candy and various trinkets, a rubber spider, a plastic pumpkin, etc. The only item Tom took a fancy to was this "Ghost pen"; for some reason it gave him spirit and strength at a difficult point in his life and he adored it!
I came across it earlier this year and decided it would be our acknowledgement, tribute, whatever you want to call it, to that grand mid-autumn celebration and I've been carefully taking care of it all this time.
There is a great video Best Halloween Music Playlist from 2025 on YouTube and of course, every Halloween I must mention the Skeleton Dance, an American animated Silly Symphony production that issued a series of 75 musical short films produced by Walt Disney Productions from 1929 to 1939 and certainly not least, Thriller by Michael Jackson. I HAD to stop and watch it while doing this entry!
