Today is the 4th day of my favorite month ... November !
Besides being the month of my birthday (November 13th) and my brother Mickey's birthday (same day, different years) it is the month in 2001 that I took Ms Hilda out on a second date (November 3rd) and changed my life forever ... and in 2008 our anniversary. It is the month that means (thankfully) no more Baseball until spring ... not a big baseball fan. It is the month of Thanksgiving Day. It is the month of the US Marine Corps birthday the 10th and Veteran's Day on the 11th.
Doug Sahms ... Sir Douglas Quintet / Texas Tornadoes / Los Super Seven / The Last Real Texas Blues Band / etc ... was born on November 6, 1941 and died November 18, 1999.
Other folks that I like who were born this month include: you'll probably notice that I tend to remember musician's birthdays more than other folks ... that's how I roll.

11-17 Gordon Lightfoot, Martin Scorsese
11-19 Dan Haggerty (Grizzly Adams), Jodie Foster

11-22 Jamie Lee Curtis, Scarlett Johannson
I think that Caroline Kennedy and JFK Jr. were both born in November also. Of course, that's the month their dad was assassinated.
Of course ... like all months ... we have our share of disappointments like Janet Napolitano, Whoppie Goldberg and Miley Cyrus.
Arizona caught my eye, and my heart, many years ago. I love it ... it's people, history and it's desert.
