Are you as surprised as I am that it’s November?  I know that we’re already into the second week but I’m still trying to deal with the fact.  Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away then we’re on to Black Friday and we hit the ground running to Christmas.

So, instead of playing that game, let’s focus on some of the more obscure holidays of November.  Let’s observe these  instead, and have our own little celebrations here in the Lounge.

Take your pick of things to celebrate:

• November is National Peanut Butter Lover’s Month.
• It’s also National Pomegranate Month.
• This week is National Split Pea Soup Week.
• November 3^rd was National Sandwich Day but if you want to celebrate now, well, you go right ahead.  I like roast beef on sourdough if you want to make one for me, too.
• November 15^th is National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day.
• and did you know that this is also National Leopard Print Month?

Okay, I made that last one up.  But what the hell?  Let’s go ahead and declare it anyway.  What do you say?  November is hereby National Leopard Print Month here in the Lounge.
