Thanksgiving 2012
Monday, December 10th, 2012
Thanksgiving snuck up once again in 2012, falling on Thursday, November 22, this time around. I was somewhat ready for it I suppose, feeling good about what I had accomplished this year and ready to begin the big final-month wind-down.

Because of the potential for horrid weather coming our way from Hurricane Sandy on the scheduled Trick or Treat date of Tuesday, October 30, 2012, it was postponed until Saturday, November 3 – effectively moving Halloween – or at least everything I associate with it – to November. In addition, as you’ll read, I attended a reunion of the film franchise Halloween, also oddly placed into November. In any case, it was a nice way to spend the weeks that fell between the real Halloween and the next of the ‘Big Three’ holidays, Thanksgiving. 
After returning from my amazing and activity-packed vacation in Germany, I was more than ready for a low-key Fall back in Ohio. And for the most part, I succeeded for a couple of weeks. The so-called low key portions of the month consisted of some DVD watching of the TV series Get a Life and some Halloween horror movies in preparation for some upcoming celebrity shows. I also tuned into music from Sunset Rubdown, Jarvis Cocker, Corner Laughers, El-P, Japandroids, Some by Sea, Surf School Dropouts, and Jack White.
