Today is the day we remember and honor the end of wars and the signing of peace treaties. This is the day we thank and honor our veterans for serving in wars (appreciated and unappreciated) to protect the ideals of this country…We also get a day off work (some of us).
To everyone else around the world, I wish you a good day.

For those of us still bound by the crazy laws of Daylight Savings, it’s time to reset our clocks. At least we get another hour of sleep.

Halloween is one of those holidays you either love or hate, but fortunately for me, I get to choose to do neither. For many Halloween is full of controversy and darkness, but for most, it’s just a day that lets kids run with their imaginations and fantasies and lets adults act like kids for a while. Now that doesn’t sound so bad.
I’m not big into celebrating Halloween myself because of its controversial history, but what something was and what it is are two different things. I like scary movies, I like costumes, and I definitely like candy, so why should I stop for just one day to protest a holiday that looks so cute on five year old.
So if you’re heading out to trick-or-treat, be safe and Happy Halloween to you. Otherwise, stay home and watch a movie or read a good book. Don’t be a grumpy-pants and remember to turn off your porch light. There’s no sense in being cruel to little kids.
