October ushers in a multitude of delights and I, for one,
am ready to embrace them all. The air will be filled with the cloyingly sweet
scent of pumpkin spice and for the next few days stores will be decked out in
orange and black. (It won’t last long;
retailers are already unpacking their Christmas decorations) But for now,
Halloween reigns supreme.
Halloween is only a small part of what makes October
great. Costume parties and trick-or-treat are just the tip of the witch's hat. We can also look forward to the return
of The Walking Dead and American Horror Story. Horror films will get their well deserved
time in the spotlight, at least for thirteen days and let’s not forget It’s
the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
October also marks the start of hockey season. The NHL kicked off their official start
yesterday and my Philadelphia Flyers (Coincidentally, their colors are orange
and black) hit the ice tonight. Despite
their less than inspired play in their home opener, I’m a die-hard fan and will
continue to hope for the best. If I keep
shouting at the TV; however, I’m going to need to stock up on tea and
honey! On a more personal note, my wedding
anniversary is also in October. See
that, sweetie, not only did I remember it is on my mind weeks ahead of
time.
All summer long, both The Walking Dead fans and NHL fans
kept asking, “Is it October yet?” Well,
it’s finally here. Let’s enjoy it. May your bellies be filled with “fun sized”
candy bars and pumpkin pastries and your dreams be filled with psychos wearing
Captain Kirk or hockey masks. Sleep
well.
