VIEWPOINT

From page A4

But with the stars aligning, all of our kids are going to be home this weekend, so you know some pumpkins are getting “Jacked” up (shut up, that’s a great pun).

Anyway, I sill have a few scars on my fingers from pumpkin carvings gone wrong back in the day, but I don’t care. Fun fact: For too many years than I’d like to admit, I thought that pumpkin pie was made from all the “guts” that you pull out of the pumpkin before you carve it. How did they transform all those seeds and stringy innards into delicious creamy pumpkin pie? I never could figure that part out.

And yes, I will be chasing my grandson around with aforementioned pumpkin guts…
