Veterans Prey, Monkey Dodgers, Monkey Types...Dark Shadows, the boogie man, out of box for a month, Halloween tricks, only one month out of the year. Time to take a fright or two, games on the trip to hall of horrors, joys and pains, a good day, lots of love to share, good times to sing and dance, friends out to party and pay, at the places to pay to have a better time than stuck at home. Time to be the life of the party, tricks and trades, party life, one night in the month, in your dreams, happy for a change to get back up and do other things. Life is a season of changes to grow and expand, more mountains to climb, more birds and bees, in the life of growing up, and moving on, bigger fish left to fry.

Stanford Graduate School of Business "A wonderful perk of being a social scientist is that I can stumble on research questions by talking to people and watching the economy hum along around me. Every discussion with a friend about their career and purchasing decisions, every piece of economic or financial news is a potential challenge to my existing beliefs and models. I stay inspired by staying engaged with the world and seeking reminders that there are big economic questions I still don’t know the answer to." –Erik Madsen (PhD ’16)
