Top Blogs: THE BIG SWALLOWwas that I was receiving invitations to the parties again, including my friend Curt's annual Halloween party, which was always a good time. Curt had one rule. If you' re not in costume, you don' t get in. Considering that most of us in this crowd grew up together (as much as we DID grow up), this led to some sometimes wild costumes, and wilder parties. This year was going to be special, because Curt and his wife, Rose, had just bought a new house, further out in the country, and they were having the party as a house-warming, it was going to be a day- long event, with a pig roast, and events for the kids.
