Hello, Andy Williams

Yes, it's November 1st. And yes, my thoughts are on Andy Williams.

Who is Andy Williams? A singer of ages past. And why am I thinking about Andy Williams?

Because..."it's the most wonderful time of the year"!

For those of you who still don't understand, think of the Staples commercial.

For those of you who understand, November 1st is a milestone since it's the day after Halloween. And, since Thanksgiving doesn't really have its own "holiday music", Time Warner's "Sounds of the Season" channel began playing Christmas music today.

Unlike most of you who are pulling at their hair and screaming "NOOOOOOOOO", I'm excited. Heck, I was ready to put up my decorations last weekend. The only reason I didn't is because my son wants to help me this weekend.

Until later, "be of good cheer"!
