The day after, October giving way to November (and looking like it). I'm going to be foisting Kit-Kat bars on friends and acquaintances for days, maybe weeks.
Note to self: wouldn't that masthead photo up top have been better if you'd arranged it so it looked like jackie boy was eating Kit-Kats with ravenous glee? Either arrange pumpkin and bowl so orange boy was bellying up to the trough or pile the candy up so that it was pouring out of big, smiling, slavering mouth? Or something along those lines? Much more fun, I think. Or more tiresome. One or the other.
Either way, one more missed opportunity. Ah, well -- there'll be more. (No I can't change the photo -- it's already getting dark here because northern Vermont's in winter mode and there just aren't that many daylight hours happening right now. And tomorrow some other photo will be there. So forget about it, all right?)
[Note, written Nov. 2: above-described photo is no longer featured as masthead pic as of this morning. For the sake of reference, here it is:]
