One of my favorite seasons takes place every October. When I experience the seasonal changes that come with the fall I can’t help but to think of a new school year for students, pumpkin flavored everything, allergy medication, community fairs, car rides watching the fall foliage take over the landscape.
And, Jack Skellington.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — More than 300 people lined up outside the Apple Store in Woodbridge on Saturday for its grand opening.
Laura Sellers is the Democratic candidate running for the Garrisonville seat of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors, and she is no stranger to the political scene. She first ran for the Board of Supervisors in 2009 and is currently a member of the Stafford Democratic Committee. She says she is determined to bring the board a new perspective.
“I was not happy with the county,” says Sellers. “With a young child, I have to think about what I want the county to look like as I raise him here. This wasn’t really it.”

The price the young men and women pay for the privilege of protecting the rest of us includes unimaginable sacrifices, significant hardships, extended absences from families and friends, and often dismemberment and the constant risk of death.
Opinion
Last week, I began to feel prospects dimming in the search for a government or contractor job. Seven months have passed since smart companies caught wind of sequestration and began paring their ranks. Bill, being a well-compensated employee was in the vanguard of layoffs. I’ve begun considering the possibility my husband may no longer find employment in the cleared jobs he’s done all his life and perhaps would need to look outside the federal service sector.
