November opened the season briskly on Boca Grande with at least 46 events scheduled, including six today - Nov. 8 -making it the busiest day of the rollicking month.
Today could have been even busier. The Literature Forum moved its discussion of "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien to Nov. 20 to avoid the logjam.
