Hmmm. My little Penguin Encyclopedia of Saints has nothing listed for
November 2nd. I assumed it was because today is the feast of All Souls,
i.e. uncanonized saints and other revered souls, your Uncle Harry, etc.,
 and it wouldn't do to steal the thunder of the "little guys" on their
one day of veneration. I mean, how many saints' feast days are December
25th, f'rinstance? Kind of a reserved date, I assumed.

Mandatory food content: today is All Souls Day, but for Latin Americans,
it's also La Dia de la Muerta (my Spanish is worse than my French!), and
a lot of the bakeries in my neighborhood are selling an astonishing
variety of extremely morbid skull-shaped pastries, cakes, and sugar
confections. Kewl, huh? Same holiday, different observances...
