In this month's Simple Life, founding editor Jim Dodson writes, "November’s gentler sunlight — at least here in the Northern Hemisphere — feels like a benediction falling across the leafless landscape, quite fitting for a month where we go “inside” literally and figuratively to celebrate the bounty of living on Earth. In the Celtic mind, late autumn is the time of the 'inner harvest, when gratitude and memory yield their own kind of fertility." We at O.Henry are grateful for you, our readers, for allowing us to share the community with you; our community, for being so rich in stories; and to our advertisers, for supporting us so that we may do what we do. Wishing you and yours a happy Thanksgiving!

"A year from now, however, a major portion of Zenke’s legacy will be erased forever when his former home and showroom is demolished for a parking lot," writes contributor Billy Ingram in this month's Wandering Billy. That home, as it stands now, houses the Guilford County Sheriff's Office: "Rogers’ office, once the designer’s living room, is enshrined in 130-year old wood paneling embedded with 15-foot high, built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcases framed in intricately carved crown molding. The bathroom is equipped with an unused sunken marble tub." Read more about the property, which will soon cease to exist, and its current tenant here: https://ohenrymag.com/wandering-billy-95/

"While I’m thrilled my three kids will never know the horror of 'bagel bangs' and double-layered neon socks, it saddens me that some of these timeless treasures weren’t so timeless after all. But when we moved to Greensboro almost six years ago, I discovered that our little Emerald City had a November tradition of its own: the Community Theatre of Greensboro's annual production of The Wizard of Oz." In this month's Chaos Theory, editor Cassie Bustamante and her family follow the yellow brick road to The Carolina Theatre to start their own new traditions. What are some of your family's holiday traditions? BTW, you can start your own Greensboro Wizard tradition this weekend and next!
