I love October. It promises crisp fall nights, leaves in changing colors, pumpkins on the porch, silly costumes, creativity for those who make their own costumes- my family always did, and the smell of warm apples and cinnamon.
Years ago when I lived in Southern California, we used to go the apple farms, and pick up apples, and cider, and come home and make fresh apple butter, apple pie or apple crisp, sauteed apples served with quiche or pork chops. I loved the smell of the dry air, and the cooler weather that came at the end of fall.
I'm yearning for a trip to get apples and the smells of memories.
As for today we went and saw the movie 50/50. It was really quite brilliant, and so funny in many parts. Seth Rogan has a language that is not comfortable for all to listen to, but he was pretty funny all the same. I'm not giving away anything but I will tell, because you are watching someone who has cancer, the tears will flow, and it doesn't matter what sex you are.
I hope you get a chance to see it.
I will leave you with this statement I overheard: 10 years ago there was Steve Jobs, Bob Hope and Johnny Cash. Today we have no jobs, no hope and no cash. Isn't that how it feels?
