Welcome to day 1 of this year’s MONSTER MONTH!!!! After two years since the last one, did you miss it?
So, this being the first day, I thought I would gingerly let the first one out of the box without causing you too much fright. It is certainly nothing as horrendous as what Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt once found in a box, so you can breathe easily. Rest assured, you and the kiddies will likely enjoy (most of) what is to come this month.

The birds, but no bees. Bees would just get in the way.

Today be the official “Talk Like a Pirate Day.” So, shiver your timbers, yo ho ho, and swab those decks, but just be sure you are doin’ it in a high-pitched squeaky voice like these here pirates be doin’.

When I was a kid, in the fall my dad would pack us up into our faux wood-sided station wagon and drive us up to New Hampshire where we’d enjoy the fall colors of the region while he traipsed through the woods with friends as they would go bird hunting. We enjoyed lots of tasty meals from those trips that consisted of pheasants, woodcocks, and once even a goose! Good memories.
Some days it’s appropriate to just remain serious.
