This has been the first full week of October, which is also known as National Popcorn Poppin’ month. This is particularly appropriate given the volume of horror movies played in the months preceding Halloween at the end of October.
This is also National Newspaper Week, so The Sidekick would like to take a moment to appreciate the major newspapers that have defined the profession.
Religiously, St. Francis Day was the 4th, but no major religious holidays are near. Nondenominational Canadian Thanksgiving will be this Sunday, and of course, October 12th is Columbus day, canceling school on Friday the 9th and Monday the 12th.
