The 31th of October is very special to me. Not only is it home to one of the cooler holidays, it's also the day I became wedded to my lovely Donna. Thank you for 5 wonderful years.

Did you know your fifth wedding anniversary is the wood anniversary?. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to get Donna. Considering the season, I'm thinking of a wooden stake. So she'll have something to protect her from all those Twilight fans. Ooo Creepy!

In tribute to this special day stay tuned for a special edition of the podcast.

I was driving home from the office yesterday, and what did I see? Christmas decorations. That's right. Christmas decorations. The City of Elk City has already decorated the street lights down Main street with Christmas decorations. The holiday isn't for another two months and It's already Yule time downtown. What happened to Halloween? What happened to celebrating autumn? I haven't even picked up candy for next Saturday night yet, and now you're telling me is time to go shopping for Christmas?

It's been cold and dreary out there this week. Autumn has definitely fallen on us. Hopefully everyone got there container plants inside or at least in a protected area. I know we did. I was hoping to get in one last lawn mowing for the season, but that's looking like it's going to have to wait, if it happens at all. I guess I'll just have to suffer a winter with a shaggy brown lawn. Welcome to Autumn.

Due to problems over the weekend. I'm actually recording this on a Tuesday. This might be the fastest podcast I put together. I'm going to test myself on my recording and editing skills, and attempt to get this podcast posted in the shortest amount of time I can. I already have my script written and edited for time, and my music selections are queued up.

So on your mark... Get set...
