My most favorite time of year is just around the bend!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, who’m I kidding, it is DEFINITELY already here. \u00a0With the Halloween season comes ghosts, goblins, witches, falling leaves, jack-o-lanterns, horror movies<\/a>, pumpkin-spice-everything and fortune tellings. Speaking of which! \u00a0Check out this fun, spooky, new campaign<\/a> I got to work on. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your favorite snack brand also launched a new pop-up restaurant in Hollywood this week called The Flamin’ Hot Spot. \u00a0My wife and I were invited to enjoy all of the amazing foodie goods put together by Chef Roy Choi<\/a>, who I even got to meet personally. \u00a0He was SO cool. \u00a0And the place was put together fabulously. \u00a0It was like a Chester ART MUSEUM in there…and we kinda never wanted to leave. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

So are you ready for a quick ghost story…? \u00a0I posted this on my Facebook last week:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I could barely face the one-year deathiversary of Mickey the pug<\/a> yesterday but something REALLY strange happened very early Sunday morning.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We have this digital frame in our living room filled with Mick pics and it hadn\u2019t been turned on in a good long while. We keep it atop the little polished, wooden box they sent his ashes it. So I woke up around 3am and came out into the living room for a security check and wouldn\u2019t you know it, the darn thing was ON…flashing the pics. You need a remote to turn it on. Like…it takes a WHILE to get going.<\/p>\n

I got really freaked out. This had NEVER happened with the frame. Nic says it was Mick saying hello but the logic part of me couldn\u2019t understand how it happened. So I clicked it off with the remote and sat there in the dark for about an hour.<\/p>\n

Listen, it’s not like this sorta thing hasn’t happened to me before. I try so hard to be very open to small miracles. But this one has taken me a few days to process. It\u2019s OK if you think I\u2019m fulla crap. But I just wanted to share.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
