October & Me

 

 

 

(Sigh)

O.k., people, it’s that time again….

My on again/off again love affair with the month of October.

It always happens around this time of year (odd, right?).

It’s such a fleeting love affair we have. Only lasting about 4 weeks, and at the end I’m always telling myself, “O.k., Enzo, this is the last time! She “loves” you and then she always leaves you around halloween, and you end up spending the entire month of November moping around listening to The Smiths.”

Well, NO MORE!

Right?

Oh, who am I kidding?

O.k., October, I’ll give you ONE more chance.
