Oct. 30--COSTUMES ARE GETTING TRICKY: Halloween is tomorrow, and if you don't have a costume ready yet, don't fret. I'm with you.

If you're not satisfied with snipping a few openings in an old bed sheet and going as Casper's great uncle, take heart. It's the Web to the rescue!

Head to your browser, go to Google, then type in "last-minute Halloween costumes" and you'll get roughly 850,000 results. Since not many of us venture past page three or four in the search returns, you can narrow the number of results to several dozen.

That's manageable, so get clicking. You'll find everything from basic colored T-shirts and other apparel bearing simple messages, like "This is my Halloween Costume," to a suggestion to head to the corner drug store to buy the makings for a walking, talking Christmas tree.
