November 2020
The Halloween this year boasts a seldom occurring Blue Moon, that
is, it seldom occurs on Halloween. But here in the states, our view of
it, except on the Pacific coast perhaps, was limited to none or only the
setting. And what can we expect from November that is always ushered in
on the doorstep of Halloween?
Perhaps we best look forward to Thanksgiving as it becomes
less and less honored as stores begin pushing the Christmas giving a
little earlier each year. Still, it is a family holiday and your
editor's favorite one of the year.
The only author, however, who mentioned food this issue (besides our Cooking columnist) is
Marilyn Carnell in her column "Sifoddling Along" although not
specifically Thanksgiving menus.
Mattie Lennon, in "Irish Eyes" features the author Polly Hughes and
along with a joke or two gives us the link to a radio play of his own.
Judy Kroll's column "On Trek" expresses her gratefulness on
escaping the Oregon fires that had forced evacuation. Thomas F. O'Neill
expounds on the differences governing arms and ammunition where he
teaches and in America where he was born, in his column,
"Introspective." John Blair in "View from My Back Steps" devotes his
info to the beautiful Passion Flower.
"Armchair Genealogy" isn't genealogy this issue but a lively
explanation why it isn't -- hint: the weather. Rod Cohenour serves up
Russian Chicken, a pet recipe of his wife, in his column "Cooking with
Rod."
Bruce Clifford has three poems: "This is Not My Country,"The
Ride," and "Remember Me." Walt Perryman shares "American," "True Morning
Thought," and "Re-run Aprons." Bud Lemire has pictures for three of his
four poems, "Chaos 2020," "Your Friend," "This World Today," and "Say
Achoo!" John Blair sent "The Cat's Meow" and "Sunflower."
Mike Craner who wears the Webmaster hat and is co-founder of
this eZine keeps it humming along for which this person is thankful. The
info about the Blue Moon was one of his bits of interest.
Look for us here again in December!
