Thanks for all the replies to my question regarding a beginning-of-the-month preview. I had many responses asking for the preview, one pointing out that I misused the term Daylight Saving Time, and one suggesting that I use my copious free time to also include horoscopes, handy hints, NASA Asteroid Watch, and Kardashian news (thanks Michael).
So here’s your preview of November events. Remember that I get all of these events from my calendar, which appears on the home page of www.golden.com, so always check there for more information and things I may not have included in this list.
