Step off October, people. It's one of your premier months: colorful foliage, low-stress holidays, little-to-no need for either air conditioning or heat, and actual air in the air.
I think October has been ruined for me, ever since Carl Rove promised an October Surprise.

In October, in New England, there is no Karl Rove, except for people who decide to go the really scary route with their Halloween costumes.
October is one of my favorite months, because that's when I got married! I actually know a lot of people with October anniversaries, and I am going to a wedding in a couple weeks as well.

Nora, our anniversary is this month, too. I caught myself thinking it would be our 16th anniversary, when it will actually only be our 12th. I was counting the years we've been together instead of just the years we've been married.
Cindy and her DH are me and my DH, except our anniversary is in June.
Ha. That's so cute, Jessica. I think I want to marry this paragraph, particularly the last sentence:
I intend to leave yogurt-making to those Azerbaijanis who want to live to be a hundred. In fact, I generally prefer to eat a product similar in many ways to yogurt but providing far fewer health benefits—sour cream. It is the Jewish answer to yogurt and promotes early entry into nursing homes. I also admire the makers of sour cream because they are honest fellows who never pretend it's good for you.
