The Witching Hours
by Micki Peluso,
Author of “And the Whippoorwill Sang“
The Witching Hours is a story of the origins of Halloween from olden times up to the present.
By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,
Whoever knocks!
-Shakespeare
Happy Halloween, my pretties!

WOW! When it rains it pours and often brings sunshine with smiles instead of thunder amid clouds. Of course, a little bit of thunder does bring on excitement so today I am thundering as I extend to all my family and friends another invitation.
Airing Friday, Nov 1, 2013 between 11:00 and 12:00 Pacific Time is a radio interview about my book Awakenings. I am scheduled during the first 1/2 hour, between 11:00 and 11:30 PST, which is 2:00 – 2:30 EST (1:00 – 1:30 CST). If you have time, please tune in and maybe even dial up to say hello on the air.
There are links on the website to call in live or Listen Live.
A bit of insight into Awakenings…
After the candy is put away, the costumes removed, settle down and join It Matters Radio for a night of terror, shock and music. Eight Authors and one band share short stories, flash fiction, poetry and music.
Tune in 9PM EST, Oct 31st
It Matters Radio welcomes you to our 2013 Halloween Special! If you love things that go ‘bump in the night’, or tales that leave your spine tingling, have we the show for you!
We held an open call for the most frightening, spookiest, bone-chilling tales, poetry or music and the winners of the contest did not disappoint.

Awakenings featured a post titled Made in America on September 7, 2013. As a follow-up to that post, I have invited Made In America (USA) Products (of which I am a member) to share with us additional information about products that are actually made in America, yep! right here on US soil!
It all started with the question, “Where do you shop for products made in the USA?”

It is most fitting to follow the reblog of yesterday with Bob’s posting of today. The cubs names are most unusual but of course, I am not from Zimbabwe nor do I speak Swahili! Thanks to Bob for not only sharing the cubs new names but a bit of information as to their origins.
I always marvel at the photography of Bob Mielke. He often visits the Portland Oregon Zoo where he knows most of the animals by name. If they could speak, I am sure each one would greet him daily, “Hello, Bob. Glad you are here today!”

October is anti-bullying month. A classification that certainly implies bullying is of concern. Is it? Is bullying a dynamic issue? Unfortunately, YES! Is it limited to pushing someone into a fight? NO! What about age? UNLIMITED! Where does bullying occur? EVERYWHERE!
A young hoodlum revels in making the lives of others truly miserable. Why? What lies at the core of a bully? Insecurity, anger, frustration, abuse, wannabe, cowardice, just plain meanness? None of these, all of these? There are a plethora of possibilities BUT none excusable.
Go to Awakenings and meet Author Dr. Cherrye Vasquez. Cherrye shares two powerful video poems that provide insight into the bully-ee and the child bully.

Wyatt Earp is a legend in his own time with multitudes of historical facts to his credit. There is only one true Wyatt but many have portrayed his character. See how many you remember as you step back in time from 1939 to 1993…
There are ten characters to choose from beginning with Errol Flynn (1939) to Kurt Russell (1993). Check out the faces and videos for who you think plays the best Wyatt Earp.
[Once on Awakenings go to Cowboys, Tombstone and Wyatt Earp (http://awakenings2012.blogspot.com/2013/10/cowboys-tombstone-and-wyatt-earp.html) for the prompt to Wyatt’s many faces.]

Baseball! Definitely all American…the first of the American Classics! History is filled with pages upon pages of stories about the GREATS who fulfilled their destiny in the sports arenas of baseball. George ‘Babe’ Ruth, Hank Aaron, Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson are just a few names that readily come to mind.
Thank you, Marilyn @Serendipity for reminding me of probably the most famous comedy bit of all time! Per Marilyn, “Abbot and Costello at their funniest. They run this at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown on a continuous loop. It’s that good.”
