September and October have been wild and wooly months, with +<\/span>Kay Hill<\/a><\/span> back in school and learning, as freshman band parents, the All-Consuming Extracurricular Which Is Marching Band.<\/p>\n

So it's great that, as those months are passing by and we're headed into November, we'll have a chance to have a calm, relaxing, leisurely month, regenerating strength and catching up with things left undone and overall getting over the whole Bataan Death March of September-October. Right? Right?<\/p>\n

Oh. Yeah. National Novel Writing Month ( #nanowrimo<\/a> ). Sigh.<\/p>\n
