Autumn is in full swing, folks. The silly season is over – you know, the season of movies like “Good Luck Chuck” and our insatiable desire to gobble up ridiculous news stories.
Let’s get down to business:

October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Read about victims of domestic violence and how you can take action by visiting the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence’s Web site.

I wouldn’t feel right about myself if I didn’t at least mention that October is also Vegetarian Awareness Month. Go, read.
