Month at a Glance
November is the month of giving thanks, voting, and then immediately standing in line at 4 a.m. to buy a discounted TV. Veterans Day falls on the 11th, Thanksgiving anchors the fourth Thursday, Black Friday runs it off the cliff on the fifth, and Election Day takes the first Tuesday in years when it's not a presidential cycle. Daylight saving time also ends on the first Sunday, which means 4 p.m. now looks like dinner.
