- November 2. Day of the Dead in Mexico. While that sounds creepy and may invoke images of restless spirits, vengeful poltergeists, animated skeletons and lumbering zombies, the reality is that all that occurs on the Day of the Dead is that dead people are entitled to a free dessert at Applebees.Kind of anti-climactic, I know. Those Mexicans just don't know how to do a holiday. At least we would ...

- Update 12:59 PM: The governor ran late with the editorial board, and I was only able to get him for a few minutes. I tried to pack in as many of your questions as I could, but was only able to get to a few. Thanks for all your emails and comments, especially on such short notice.
